I love milk so much! I make a point of drinking a glass of milk every day. So now anyone who did those milk ads with the milk mustaches, they're my heroes. ↗

Young actors often don't think of the consequences of doing nudity or sex scenes. They want the role so badly that they agree to be exploited, and then end up embarrassing family, friends, and even strangers. ↗

My concern about Barack Obama is he ran a campaign in 2008 where he said we're going to bring people together and solve big problems.
