When it came to ‘Binge,’ it wasn’t my intention to get on a little soapbox and have a teaching moment. It was more, ‘Here are things that have happened to me; here’s what I’ve learned from it.

That’s not me.’ And then, the moment I tried it, I found I loved it more than anything in the world, and that taught me a lesson. That is, just go for it. – Terry Crews
