“I feel so lucky. It has been a crazy ride, careerwise. I wake up sometimes and I am feeling, ‘What have I done to deserve all these good things?’ I have gone through rough things and I try to enjoy every day. I have money. I have fame. I have my family, people who love me. So I am trying to enjoy it.”
