I Spent My Whole Life

When You Get Into Your 40s, It's All About Lighting. It's Hard. You Have To Face Whether The Way You Look Is Your Self-worth Or Not. Once You Get Beyond That, It's All About What's In Your Heart.

Almost Six Years Ago, Before I Was Given The Incredible Opportunity To Be In 'leaving Las Vegas,' I Was Going Through A Long Period Of Artistic Confusion. I'd Spent Years Doing Work That Hadn't Pushed Me Enough, And I Was Beginning To Wonder If I Had Any Talent.

I Feel Like My First Conversation With Someone, I Really Get A Good Feeling About Who That Person Is And Mainly About How Open They Are.

Sadness, Joy, Wonder - All Feelings Come From A Place Of Grounded Strength That Comes From Trust In Yourself. We Spend So Much Time Trying To Control Our Feelings Out Of Fear That Something May Happen, That Somebody May Not Love Us, Or Walk Away Or Die. It's Only When You Stop Living In That Fear Of What Other People Might Do To You Or How They Will React, Only Then Are You Free To Be Alive.

Everyone At 'csi' Has Been So Great To Work With, And So Great In Terms Of Scheduling. There's A Real Feeling Of Family On That Set... I've Grown To Have So Much Respect For The Cast And Crew - They're Been Together So Many Years And Still Care About The Show And Each Other.
