While they would have provided financial support if I had needed it, the greatest support my parents gave was emotional, psychological.

As a kid I had a crush on Sophia Loren and Raquel Welch.

The movie that's had the most effect on me is Jaws. To this day when I'm in the ocean, I'm hearing that music.
