I believe in conscientious capitalism; that's a kind of driving force with me.

I'm going to trust God that I'm not going to completely burn out, and that I'll have the energy in me to stay in it. Fortunately, I have really excellent people around me that are helping me.

I believe in incentivizing people. If you can incentivize people in anything, whether it's in politics; in life; in spirituality; in business; just take care of folks. Incentivize them and all of a sudden it's amazing the difference that you'll see.

My family was always very supportive. Whether you're an actor or not, everybody hears the horror stories of people going to L.A. and trying to be an actor, and their dreams are crushed, and they end up working for the IRS. So they were always protective to the point that they wanted me to have a backup plan, which is understandable, but there was always something inside of me that knew: backup plan, schmackup plan.

My high school experience was pretty good, but my middle school experience was god awful. It was horrible. I got picked on like no tomorrow.

What resonates with people is that it feels like you actually are thinking of them.

I want to go create my own independent content and entertainment, in new models and in new ways, and essentially show studios and networks that people are good.
