I was told MTV VJs have no career after MTV, and I'm like, that's never going to be me. I was always about not feeding into the negativity and proving to people that I can do more than one thing.

I'm someone that's a hard worker and takes their job seriously and gives it all they've got.

My family and God is my strength.

When I go to these auditions, I feel like I have to prove myself 10 times over... acting is a challenge.

My fuel for my fire is to be able to provide for my family.

At first, there was a separation of clubs and sketch comedy. Now there's all kinds of comedy, making us one big happy family.

During the summer months of my high-school years, I befriended Dr. Robert Kough, a physician who cared for members of my family. Although he was practicing general medicine in a rural community when I met him, he was well equipped to arouse in me an interest not only in the life of a physician but in the fundaments of human biology.

The child supplies the power but the parents have to do the steering.
