My trouble is I talk first and think later.
I'm a really rotten liar. Generally, if I've tried to pull off a lie, it hasn't worked out to my advantage.
I'm a Christian. I go to church when I can. I was raised Baptist. I went to a Lutheran school. I'm a nondenominational practicing Christian. I have a lot of faith.
I've been trained in dancing and I used to be quite good, though I am a bit rusty right now. But I could probably brush up in a couple of months.
I ask a lot because I'm very curious - especially about ex-girlfriends. I'm pretty good at getting the answers, too.
I have never tried [cocaine] in my entire life. I've never even seen it. ... I am also way too high-strung. I can't even take a Sudafed. Can you imagine? My God. I think my heart would explode.
I find this life so interesting.
I think if there's something one needs to change with oneself, it doesn't have to happen in the New Year. You can do that any time you please - not that it's not a good inspirational tactic for the people that it works for.
Sticking to your values, listening to your instincts, making your own choices is so important.
I love producing. My dream as a producer is to be able to build a company that can be a safe haven for artists, for directors and for writers and actors to do what they do best and let them have final edit. I'd like to build something to that effect.
Sometimes we love people so much that we have to be numb to it. Because if we actually felt how much we love them, it would kill us. That doesn't make you a bad person. It just means your heart's too big.
I am an eternal optimist. Being happy is a choice. And you can make that choice every day, if you want to.
I did learn one great lesson from a past relationship, and that was to never talk about relationships in print again because I'd rather live my private life than read about it.
The older I get, the more I embrace my own idiosyncrasies.
