Challenge is good for any relationship.
For me, I think everybody with half a heart tries to do their best to do their part of good during the holiday season.
I mean, part of me would love to be a fat tenured professor of theater someday.
I never let my politics supersede my manners.
I play mostly guitar, and I played drums in my brother's band for a while growing up.
I wish I was old Hollywood.
I never thought I would meet Mariah Carey, but I really never thought I'd be introduced to her by Whitney Houston. She's like, 'Hey, baby, this is Mariah.' I'm like, 'I know. I'm Darren. I don't know what I'm doing here.'
I'm very specific and ambitious in plotting out my goals and never take no for an answer - so it's not like things just fall in my lap.
Its always important to recognize your situation and not take it for granted.
I remember seeing Aladdin when I was five or six and loving it. I looked at the big screen and said to my mum, Whatever this Genie guy does, I want to do. Mum said I couldnt be a genie, but that Robin Williams, who did the voice-over in the film, was an actor. So I said, OK, then, I want to be an actor.
Fashion is about owning whatever you're wearing, regardless of if it's a high fashion statement or not.
I have an unabashed adoration of cheesy pop music.
I'm this goofball. I look at myself in the mirror, and the person that I know doesn't match up to what I think people love to perceive me as.
I'm ambitious in the sense that I raise the bar high for myself.
