"I dedicated much of my adult life to the pursuance of a vastly different life than I had ever envisioned for myself. It is seventeen years later and I have no regrets. My desires have evolved and broadened into different facets of the entertainment industry, I attribute much of this to the changes in myself personally. Has it been easy? We'll talk. I do consider myself lucky. I do also recognize that I am responsible for creating and capitalizing on some of that luck. But I am competitive only with myself. I recognize my time here is not a constant. It is a truth. A time. And it too will pass. So I will celebrate it. With you if you like. Being here, you have decided to share part of the journey and I welcome you."
