I have a fine level of recognition in the business and among the acting community now so I consider myself one of the lucky ones. If I didn't think that there would be something wrong with me. I'm grateful and thankful for what I've got.
I still have a lot to learn - about the business about music and about myself. Its exciting.
I find myself going to places where I really have no business speaking to these people in a whole other field that I have no extensive knowledge of. But I do it very often because it scares me.
After hurting myself like that I could not go back immediately to racing. I was in no condition mentally or physically. That helped me to strengthen myself to go through the hard times that were ahead with my business and to be successful.
At the end of drama school I made a contract with myself: I'd try acting for five years. I was 26. I had already spent eight years working in restaurants and gas stations. So I had seen enough small businesses to understand that that's what acting is: a small business.
I'm not a kid. You don't get in this business for anonymity. It's not like I have posters of myself on the wall but at the same time I'm kind of ready for a little bit of it but I worry for my little one and my family - their privacy. That's what I'm more protective of.
I never hurt nobody but myself and that's nobody's business but my own.
I don't really count myself as a very sophisticated businessperson. I'm a creative artist. All I know from business I've picked up along the way.
When I jumped off a roof in Cannes in a bee costume I looked ridiculous. But this is my business I have to humiliate myself.
I can't tell anybody else how to run their life or their business but I really believe I've got a good bead on myself.
