And they just saw me on that and - from the time I was 11 until I was 12, I guess. And then when I had just turned 13, they asked me if I wanted to tour with Johnny Cash back East.

The greatest gift God has given me is the capacity of love for people. I have so many faults, but caring about people is not one of them.

You learn so much on set; I don't know if you learn as much anywhere else as you do when you're on set, working.

Every day, I wake up and I'm like, "Oh, I'm the star of my own show that has my name in it and I get to write it and hire actors that I've loved for such a long time!" It's amazing!
