It doesn't matter on 'Big Brother' how big you are, anyone can dominate the series.
Things like 'I'm A Celebrity,' when they're going to a trial, they might reset the camera for a bit or give a briefing that's not on camera. But 'Big Brother,' you see everything.
You get some really unlikely friendships on 'Big Brother' and that's one of the joys of it.
My senior year of high school, when I was getting recruited for college, my dad goes to me, 'You can become an Olympic champion.' And that's the first time that I'd heard someone else say that to me. I was like, 'Uh, are you talking to me?'

I think that's an important lesson for young people who want to be artists: You have to find someone who believes in you and who will help you find that time where you don't have to think about a job but just making work.

My first book, 'To Be or Not To Be,' took 'Hamlet' and converted it to the choose-your-own-path format.
