I don’t mean to make a generalization, but I do at the same time, from what I know about people from the Midwest, it seems like their families would talk about money openly in front of them when they were kids. They’d say stuff like, ‘We’re broke! We’re gonna lose the house!’

I think one thing I’ve learned is, I can’t give my heart again until someone gives it back. Until I see that someone else is willing to take a risk… because love is a risk. You risk the chance of getting hurt and getting your heart broke.

It’s an unfortunate situation. After such a great play I felt like I got hit late, no flag, broke my hand. That’s it. That’s pretty much been the story for the past three weeks, and obviously at some point something catastrophic was going to happen, and I broke my hand.
It took me a month to get out of the mindset of O.J. But even now, still, I think it might have done something to my vocal chords. I went to see the doctor, and he was like, ‘I don’t see anything. You’re fine.’ But mentally, I might have broke a little bit.
