At 21, you can live life with reckless abandon, as reckless as your abandon is. Then, at 30, there's something there are the supposed to be's. You're like, "I'm supposed to be doing this. I'm supposed to be doing that." You start measuring your life by what you think you're supposed to be doing. Having recently turned 40, it's like, "What the hell?! Why am I worried about what I'm supposed to be doing? What do I want to do?" You become fine with wherever the road takes you.

You have to get out of your comfort zone in order to grow.

I do believe that everyone has something to contribute.

One thing I've learned is be comfortable in your skin, and more importantly, be comfortable in your shoes.

I was always a closet lover of acting. My mom was very practical. She never, ever restricted our dreams, always told us we could do or be anything. Then I said, 'Maybe I want to be an actor.' And she said, 'Maybe not that.'

I prefer doing interviews where people don't have to interpret what you say. I'm going to be real honest.

I hate to tell people what they should think 'cause I really have an aversion when people tell me what to think.
