Just Be You...'cause That's Good Enough For

I'm Lucky On So Many Counts - I'm Lucky To Be Alive.

I See The People In The Tabloids, The Ones That Get Bad Press, Who Have Kind Of Gone Off The Edge, And I Try To Study Them So That I Don't Do That. It Seems Like They Lost Focus At Some Point - That's The One Thing They All Have In Common.

I Was 20 Years Old, Working As A Roofer And A Telemarketer And Driving A Taxi, Just Barely Getting By. A Friend Of A Friend Suggested I Try Acting. I Was Like, 'why? What Am I Going To Do? Community Theater?' But I Took A Class, And The Teacher Thought That I Had Potential, So I Moved To Vancouver And Started Auditioning.

Every Single Day I Wake Up In The Morning, And I Wonder If This Is Some Kind Of Amazing Dream That's Gonna End All Of A Sudden. And, You Know, I'm Gonna Wake Up And Be Somewhere Else.

My Past Made Me Who I Am Today. I Can’t Just Pretend It Never Happened. But The Biggest Lesson I Learnt From That, Is That I Can Be An Example For Others Who Are Still Struggling! There’s Always Hope And Help For Everyone. I Think It’s My Responsibility To Do That, To Help. I Always Refer To This As The “moment Of Clarity”. It’s Hard To Explain What Really Happened, But It Was A Once In A Lifetime Kind Of Moment. I Had Reached My Lowest Point And I Just Knew Things Had To Change Quickly Because There Was Just No Other Way, You Know.
