t was about 12 years ago and I am happy to say that it has made me a very good living as its CEO and founder.

Have signed contracts for 2 more movies and an now official member of SAG. You know? I can't think of one single thing that I would have done differently or that I regret. Do not possibly see how life could be any better for me.
