Quotes

"I tell the cast members instead of going to Jamaica or Saint Barts for my vacation, I went to four different states to visit family. In my family there's a lot of health problems. And what do you see when you see people who are struggling with breathing, with cancer, real issues? You see how blessed you are. So my problems with this business and this industry and all its unfairness are irrelevant because at the end of the day -- whether I'm where I'm supposed to be, or I'm supposed to be bigger or whatever -- I'm right where I need to be. And I'm blessed to be able to do what I do because I love it."
