There's a side to this industry that nurtures divas who can't write. It's a big business.

How do you nurture a positive attitude when all the statistics say you're a dead man? You go to work.

Men are amazing. I love the way they are. They're consistently little boys and they need to be nurtured and loved. But at the same time they need to feel like men.

I have a responsibility to nurture and shepherd my talent and when I'm living the parts of my life not related to that I feel I have the right to be left alone.

There are no college courses to build up self-esteem or high school or elementary school. If you don't get those values at a early age nurtured in your home you don't get them.

High expectations weren't nurtured in my neck of nowhere back then - children weren't fawned over from an early age as 'gifted' and groomed for a prizewinning future self-esteem was considered something you had to pick from the garden yourself.
