For me, personally, the most difficult moments had to do with not just terrorist attacks, but also shootings.

You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Keep exploring. Keep dreaming. Keep asking why. Don’t settle for what you already know. Never stop believing in the power of your ideas, your imagination, your hard work to change the world.

When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don't really have to do anything, you just let them talk.

Just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a nail.

Change is never easy, but always possible.

Don’t ever let anybody tell you that your efforts don’t matter or that your voice doesn’t count. Don’t ever believe that you can’t make a difference. You have.

Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.

Learning to stand in somebody else's shoes, to see through their eyes, that's how peace begins. And it's up to you to make that happen. Empathy is a quality of character that can change the world.

If somebody is different from you, that's not something you criticize, that's something that you appreciate.

We can talk about it, dream about it and dissect the fine print.In the end, only action satisfies our longing.

Fate lies in our hands, its just that we need to be brave enough to read it & desire enough to change it

Don't break your discipline, form it!

Theatre is a must for actors. They should try it at least once. It makes you disciplined, teaches you to respect your work, and boosts your confidence as an actor.

I have to tell you, I'm a great teacher. Ask anybody who worked for me, except some secretaries who weren't very good.

A capacity to change is indispensable. Equally indispensable is the capacity to hold fast to that which is good.

I burned my own damn finger pokin' someone else's fire

When you do 'Mad Fat Diary' or 'The Village,' you always learn about the particular time period, and that's always nice for an actor.

The results you produce in life are inversely proportional to the degree to which you are intimidated.

Sometimes, it is necessary to step beyond what you have known and to reach for something more.
