I can't wait til I get the chance to be a character and how my face looks isn't the first consideration.

Well, I'm a consumer as well. I go to the movies with my popcorn and believe everything I see.

In a collaborative environment directors hire actors because they want their input, not just their bodies.

I do come shackled with whatever people think I am.

I just think we're living in a time of massive, amazing change, like the Industrial Revolution on acid.

The least consideration of any film I've ever worked on is who is right for it.

You know, I change my hair color a lot, I do all sorts of different things.

Cause I won't repeat myself, the way I dress and look.

My idols are all older.

That's where I got my start and where I'll continue to work, but I can't tell you the number of films between Drugstore Cowboy and Curly Sue that I auditioned for and wanted that didn't choose me.

All I really want to do is entertain people out there sitting in the dark and for them to believe it.

...inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened.

When God forgives, there is an immediate andcomplete change in relationship. Instead of hostility, there is love and acceptance. Instead of enmity, there is friendship.

One is still what one is going to cease to be and already what one is going to become. One lives one's death, one dies one's life.

I love being a freak. It's great!

You cannot learn to skate without making yourself ridiculous - the ice of life is slippery.

Now, I cannot approve anything the council has rejected, but I can reject anything the council has approved.

Wisdom is something that comes, little by little, through a lot of listening.

I just think people are so used to seeing me on shows like Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars, which are more geared toward teens. But in reality, I could have a 12-year-old kid.

Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.

A caged canary is safe but not free.
