I've been building a future for myself outside of acting.

I grew up very fast. I was always hanging around with older kids.

I save my money, brother. I don't spend what I don't make.

There are a lot of actors out there who don't have an arena to present their stuff.

The first thing I learned as a producer is that you have very little control over the life of a project. Anything can stall a film from financing to scheduling to casting. Things fall apart all the time. Don't waste time on something that just won't get made. Try to have as many projects going at one time as you can handle.

The ultimate lesson from my entire experience is you cannot prejudge human beings. You just can't. I don't care who they are, what their behavior, or what you've heard about. You have to be able to meet the person and talk with them, and even then, that's not even enough to prejudge them.

Whether you are pro-choice or strongly pro-life, as I am, there should be common ground that abortion ceases to be an option when a baby can live outside the mother's womb or experience excruciating pain from a procedure.

As a roadie for the Jimi Hendrix Experience, I learned that I should give up being a guitar player.
