My first review for the TV movie The Bionic Showdown said I was as interesting as a bus ride.

Being in front of a camera, in a nice dress, getting all dressed up is extreme. There's a lot of other extreme situations, you know, just getting out of bed sometimes is extreme - but I do it. Just got to do it, just got to get up. Put your sweatpants on, brush off the dog hair and just get out of the house!

Composing means you have a beginning, middle and end and a fluidity to what you're doing.

I would say if you are going to party, show up on time to work.

I keep saying, 'Don't change. Be who you are,' but society is really strong in their opinions.

I love the written word; I love when someone takes the time or leaves you a note or sends a letter.

Half of my family has a deep-rooted connection to the South and Louisiana, and for me, New Orleans is one of our most precious, historic communities: visually, emotionally, artistically.
