In Hollywood, you tend to get pigeonholed to certain genres, and then when you try to do something different, it's not always so easy.

It's a profession like anything else.

After you have changed yourself, you might be able to inspire others to look for change.

Peace Pilgrim

I don't have anything to prove ever, ever in my life. If I have something to prove, what does that mean for everyone else? And I think everyone should have that attitude. You just have to prove to yourself that you can go out there and be the best that you can be and not prove anything to anyone.
