I like a director that encourages me to be playful. I don't really like being restricted or controlled by a director.

I met this homeless man who had never owned a shirt in his life. He had taken his pants and worn them as a shirt and I thought it was so creative. He was liberated from the conventions of fashion.

I wear everything from hip-hop baggy pants to beautiful Armani dresses. I also like to mix vintage clothing with designer pieces.

I'm going to Columbia University but I'm trying to keep that low-profile because I don't want weird people following me there. I want the experience of normal college life.

Make yourself useful, not just on a day to day basis, but as a lifetime thing.

I like analyzing human behavior. It's complex. That's what keeps me going.

I tend to gravitate toward the more powerful roles. As opposed to the doe-eyed girl who bats her eyelashes and runs around in towels, you now what I mean? Because that kind of makes me want to vomit.

My regular school didn't know what to do with me!

I am a big fan of horror movies but I had never thought that I had wanted to act in one because I don't think that actors get to do much in them. They're usually just reacting.

I think that ultimately I just have to be myself. You know, I don't do anything that outlandish anyway.

I always feel like a goofy little kid.

Believe in God.

A clown makes you laugh it doesn't mean he knows how to perform a surgery.

'Jihad' can mean holy war to extremists, but it means struggle to the average Muslim.

I've liked most of the films that I've been in and those are the kinds of films I like to see.

The history of man is dominated by, and reflects, the amount of available energy

A flower more sacred than far-seen success Perfumes my solitary path; I find Sweet compensation in my humbleness, And reap the harvest of a quiet mind.

I'm involved in so many different things, and there are so many profound reactions to what I do because I am big counter culture.

Karma is a medicine which is given for our own good. Karma is the law of compensation, not of vengeance.

I might sing a gospel song in Arabic or do something in Hebrew. I want to mix it up and do it differently than one might imagine.

Here we go again, a government which is making yet more excuses for yet more failure when it comes to getting our budgetary situation right.
