Quotes

Working on television is therapeutic to me. When that camera comes on,all negativity vanishes. I forget about the fight I had with my,neighbor. I forget about the pain in my left foot. I forget about my,dog dying. Performing, for me, is an emotional cure all.

I believe success is comprised of three basic elements: hustle,homework, and a solid handshake. .
