Music, acting, performing, this career has always been kind of an obsession forme. When people have said, you know 'You're doing too much. You can only do onething.' I always had it in my mind, I was always a person who was like, 'Whynot? Why not?' So, I kind of had to to force my own path, make my own rules.And I was obsessed like that I liked it that way for a while. Just working andworking and working.
But it wasn't until I had two little angels come into my life, that everythingchanged. You know, I knew I had to be better. I knew I had to go higher, I knewI had to be stronger than I had been before. It was through that unconditionallove that my career, that my whole life became clearer in every way. And now,today, I stand here stronger and better than ever. So thank you, Max and andEmme.
