All actors should experience public failure.

The thing that’s wonderful about social media is that we are able to give a voice to the voiceless and to help educate each other. I benefit from it as much as I provide those lessons.

I have very high standards for every part of life – my work, my relationships, food, love. I can’t just pretend.
