I had no idea this happens or would happen and I didn't know what to expect out of it. And my brother said alright you better call her and I said alright, why not? So that's pretty much how we got our first agent and then we started taking acting classes.

• It feels great to wake up feeling healthy, awake and alert. I love waking up in the morning, taking a
  deep breath, reading the newspaper and going to the gym - as opposed to carrying a hangover right
  until lunch. That's horrible. It is nice to let off steam once in a while, but I find myself less involved with
  people in that sense. I like staying at home, reading a book, having a chat with my wife, a quiet dinner
  and going to bed early. I don't want to drink half a bottle of whisky and look 50 the next day. I have
  become an anti-drinking, anti-smoking agent.
