Q&A
What would you do if you had to re-enter your career?
Asked by Julian at Roadtrip Nation"I'd probably just start. You know, so many people are looking for someone to take their hand and guide them somewhere, and I've never been that kind of person. If I have an idea about something, I'm already winning.."
What would you do differently if you were re-entering your career?
Asked by Julian at Roadtrip Nation"I don't think I'd do anything differently at all. Nothing you've gone through in your life will ever be lost, every experience, every good, every bad thing that happened, taught you a lesson..."
Do you have a degree?
Asked by Julian at Roadtrip Nation"I do have a degree. I studied pre-law. I like the law; I don't love it. I realized that I just wanted to stand in front of people and get them to believe in anything I said, so I became an actor."
