My dad left when I was 3 1/2, and he left my mom and I.
There's more upside potential globally, in places like Asia, emerging markets and even in the US.
I'm a really good team player. That's what it takes to work in the theater. That's what it takes to work in a band with musicians and writers.
I've always had a love for horses since I was really young. When I was 5 years old, the only thing that made me happy was when they'd take me out and give me pony rides.
I've had a great metamorphosis in my life. I struggled for a number of years because I was identified with that image of the Seventies.
