I've always loved movies and loved the idea of playing make-believe. That was my favorite game, growing up as a child, was make-believe, and to be able to do it as an adult is awesome.

For me, anything that you take on, you want to be challenged. That's what makes the job exciting.

What I love most is the art, is making art, acting and being on set, and being a part of the process of making a movie.

I like the idea of bringing people together and making great entertainment.

My mom always told me I could do or be anything I dared to dream, and I always wanted to work in the movie industry.

Try out lots of different options early in your career. Then watch the responses: how you feel, what the market values, what people appreciate about you. It's the only way to find work that's uniquely right for you.

Although it was a great accomplishment to win a gold medal, as soon as they put it on you, that's it; your career is over.

As a professional broadcaster, I can tell you that over the course of my career, there is an adage: don't ever apologize.
