I say what I think, and I stand behind what I say.

I do like being in front of the camera more and more. Having experience behind it has taught me about lighting and angles, how to move, and what looks good and what doesn’t.

It’s not what you take when you leave this world behind you. It’s what you leave behind you when you go.

I like the nice guys. I like when they show the stories, the human element behind it all.
We have this time to meet and do something, or just be together, and then we lose it and move to another kind of time, another kind of being, I guess. Those left behind must mourn, remember, and live on as we know.
