I'm really tall - almost six feet - and my features tend to be extreme, especially on TV.

I feel more comfortable when I'm somebody else, I think. When I'm taking a picture as myself, the whole idea of taking a headshot, to me, feels very false.

I really love being a character actor. I have to say I wish it were a little easier. There are still a lot of things that I don't get, like I do wish I had more of my own.

The older I get, the more I appreciate what came before.

My family is still very Southern Baptist, and they're religious.

People will go into an audition and a casting situation, and they'll see someone across the room that's perhaps slightly famous, or famous, and they think, 'Oh God, I'm not gonna get the part.

A food is not necessarily essential just because your child hates it.

The great person never loses a childlike spirit.

Self esteem is the reputation we acquire with ourselves.

I love just sitting quietly meditating. With an hour free, it depends. I love getting down on the floor and playing with my kids.

It takes courage to believe the best is yet to come!
