Writing a funny story is one thing. But writing a funny story that inspires others to venture beyond their level of comfort in pursuit of their greater good is what makes me come alive.

One of my biggest lessons in life is, we heal at the speed of our forgiveness.

Hollywood is running out of money and in order to keep geetting a third financed, you have to rely on overseas funding, and in order to do that, you have to get recognizable names.

Every day you must unlearn the ways that hold you back. You must rid yourself of negativity, so you can learn to fly.

I can walk around relatively anonymously.
