- Prefers this common expression in its non-abbreviated form: "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.".

- Writing is creating a puzzle. Acting is solving a puzzle. Performing one's own writing is luxury. Knowing where the pieces go, burdened with fear of performing, yes, but not of wrong choices or missed clues. Thus, economy, which I love, becomes luxury.
- Life is full of disappointments. Still, we must embrace every day for what it WILL bring, not what it won't.
- People think I'm insane for leaving showbiz to raise my kids. But every interview I've ever heard with anyone in their later years speaks the same regret: 'I wish I spent more time with my kids.' I merely listened. They also said parenting was the hardest job in the world. And God knows I love a challenge. So, win win.
