Of all the television shows that I could've been a part of, I was blessed to start my career with and be part of one of the greatest shows of all time, "The Wire".

It's such a blessing to see soldiers thanked in airports, etc. Take a moment to thank them. They took more than a moment for us.

Whether a dream, a job, a relationship or other, go forward with your whole heart. Be honest. Be open. Be present. No matter the outcome, if you don't give everything you have, holding nothing back, you'll never truly know what could've been.

I never meet a stranger.
