Reasons had trouble finding a distributor and went largely unseen when it was released in 1996, but I received acclaim for My work, and was thereby encouraged to try again ABOUT MY CAREER It enabled me to have that one-on-one with my fan base that I don't have a chance to do often because I'm in front of the camera.
