As a child, I was fortunate enough to be close to family members who were - and still are - great storytellers. I was a gullible country boy from Rocky Mount, Virginia, and I believed every folktale they told me, no matter how fantastic.

I'm super excited to have people hear little stories about my life, the lives of my friends, people I know.

I've had a fairy tale life. I had a perfect family, a beautiful childhood, an incredible upbringing. I lived a lot of life but a lot of good life.

I come from a family of great readers and storytellers.

I've always liked stories. I'm always reading, ever since I was a kid. I've always been reading and wanting to be in some other world.

I grew up in a family where the love of stories is very strong. And there's also a love of performance. I think one reason stories were so important in my family was that we moved around a lot.

I just want people to hear me and my story.

I'm a good storyteller.

There are enough stories about my family. We have all been in the public eye.

My folks were busy. My dad was a teacher, and it was during the Second World War, and my mother was working. So I got my stories from films and books. I read a lot, and I love to read to this day.
