I do think it's important to live in the present because in that way you won't be living in a state of regret.
I'm often asked if I regret not going to Hollywood. I'm glad I didn't go, because if I had I wouldn't have my extended family, which is the fabric of my life. Only recently have I realised how special and unusual it is.
I don't regret the passing of time. I try to live in the present, which should mean my life's full.
