I played a lot of football when I was younger. I'm a good receiver, actually.

I was in a very deep, dark slump, and I needed to find a way to get myself out of it. I had to force myself back out into life, back out into experiencing things.

The red-carpet spotlight is a little bit more nerve-racking when you haven't been doing it all the time.

My father was a beautiful man.

For a good 10 to 12 years, I was working non-stop and I wasn't really enjoying my success.

All I ever intended was to make a living at what I do. Everything I've achieved since then is above and beyond.

I'm neither embarrassed of who I am, where I come from, what I've experienced, I'm not ashamed of it.
