I've been fortunate to have had the life i had prior to hollywood. i wasn't starving, i was going to eat the next day. i came to hollywood wanting a career that had longevity, and i wasn't afraid to take risks because i had a dollar in the bank. i wasn't driven by money as much as i was driven by making a successful transition. and i was smart enough to know that i certainly didn't have all the answers and i needed to surround myself with smart people and be willing to take risks and be willing to fail.
