I came here knowing nobody. I worked clubs as a singer and even the doors a few times before I landed some TV roles.

The doors of wisdom are never shut.

I get the beginning. I get the end. Then I write the middle. That's how I do it.

I'm not going to sit here and say, 'Pity me; I came from modeling.' It's opened a lot of doors. People will take meetings because they've heard the name before. That's an advantage that I have.

I think the solo playing, the decision to start playing solo, came out of having discovered what lay behind the doors that that technique opened for me.

I love people who just started making movies - first-timers, second-timers. They take chances.
