When I received my first paycheck from my now known day job, I spent it on a period Craftsman chair and a Frank Lloyd Wright-wannabe lamp. With my second paycheck, I bought a stereo.

I spent my first paycheck on a vintage Mercedes.

We sometimes let ourselves be rated too much by others - we put so much emphasis on a paycheck or what a magazine says.

I believe you make your day. You make your life. So much of it is all perception, and this is the form that I built for myself. I have to accept it and work within those compounds, and it's up to me.

I've worked with some really great directors, and I'm really choosy about them because they're telling the story at the end of the day.

I'm sure they're saddened by me, and I get frustrated with them. But I love them, and at the end of the day if they need me or if they need anything, I'm there for them. Family.
