I was raised in Mississippi, so heat and humidity is my bread and butter. It keeps me going. I can't stand cold weather.

I can remember when I first got to los Angeles . I didn't have a car, I didn't have any money. I was walking the streets, you know, trying to get from place to place on foot almost. Sometimes, you know, you say, how am I ever going to get from here to there? There are a lot of people still having that dream and not being able to get there. So you never know.

And finding the hat, I always like to find the hat. And then props just dress the set. It's all fabulous.
