I'm going to try and model myself after Kurt Russell and Jodie Foster.

Just keep learning from the role and not just go for the money.

I like normal stuff people fear - like spiders and heights. I'm frightened by the unknown, by things that are hard to figure out and get a grip on.

Kobe Bryant is my favorite basketball player. He takes risks. He goes for the shot. He isn't cautious with whatever he does.

There is no such thing as a complete lack of order, only a design so vast it appears unrepetitive up close.

I like to know what I'm celebrating before I put on a party hat.

To acquire and preserve the virtue of chastity, we have need of a good and experienced confessor.
