I'd like to do something for inner-city schools and education for young people because it's constantly being cut.

Apparently, the world is not a wish granting factory.

It's so sad, you get less starstruck when you start realizing that it's not a big deal.

Fault is a beautiful, honorable love story that I hope I'll get to experience in my own lifetime. It makes you grateful for any love you have in your life.
