I can admire a beautiful woman, but I didn`t feel comfortable working with women on that level. I treat the business like a business because I have a business mind. I really enjoy my work and my scenes and I think that`s part of the reason why I haven`t gotten burned out. I`ve been able to pick and choose to a great extent and that helps. Since I do have a nursing career to fall back on, I am not really forced to be in the business. I stay because I truly enjoy the work. (July 2000: Interviewed by Roger T. Pipe)
