guitar love music playing week within
I started playing guitar when I was 6 or 7 years old, and I think that, within a week of getting my first guitar, I started writing music. I just love it.
brought love since
Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to get married. I think because of the way I was brought up and seeing my parents in love.
life
I've always wanted to make teaching a part of my life.
ask doctors fourth second stay third top
Doctors are human; they make mistakes, and you have to stay on top of them. You have to ask the second question, the third question, the follow-up to the fourth question.
music runs
Music runs through everything I do - I even think musically; even when I was acting, but, especially, when I am directing. Directing is very musical.
age credible difficult flavor group jump maintain suddenly
It's really difficult to maintain a credible career as you jump from age group to age group and suddenly you're not the flavor of the month anymore; you're not in demand.
needs tables artistic
I've learned to sell my music, I've learned to direct, I've written screenplays... All of this fulfilled my artistic needs but also put food on the table.
running growing-up who-i-am
All things take time. A lot of my films still run on cable and are in video stores, and there's a whole generation that doesn't know who I am. So, it's a dichotomy. In some people's minds I may never grow up.
powerful heart dark
Cardiac depression is very powerful, it's very black, it's very dark. What I've learned to do is get out of my head and get into my heart. And it just sounds like an easy thing - it was difficult at first - to truly recognize moment to moment how fortunate I am.
voice stuff adore
I have been doing voice work my entire life, and I adore it. It is really rewarding stuff.
afraid death either fact grips life lucky understanding
If you're afraid of death, I would say, either fight for your life or come to grips with the fact you may not make it. And in doing that there shouldn't be bitterness. There should be a celebration. There should be an understanding of how lucky you are. That's how I feel.
