It was always my dream to be a director. A lot of it had to do with controlling my own destiny, because as a young actor you feel at everyone's disposal. But I wanted to become a leader in the business.

You know, working as an actor, I'm always working within my own imagination.

I have a business background. I have always wanted to open my own business.

You know, young actors say all the time, 'Should I use my own life experience?' And my response is, 'What choice do you have?'

I always felt too young and selfish to have children of my own.

I'm not a good enough actor anymore to be able to stand up here and make you believe that I haven't imagined this moment in my mind over the years and played it out about a thousand times. I'm very grateful for this. I'm very grateful for an entire lifetime spent involved in this creative process.
