I started doing martial arts when I was a kid. I don't often get that kind of role, although I get to do it periodically, which is a lot of fun for me.

I love having messy hair. I put in a lot of effort to have it look as messy as possible.

I get uncomfortable in large groups of people and loud music.

It's not that easy to find someone I can relate too. I'm tough to crack because I'm shy.

I never dreamed of being an actor, but I'm beginning to love it more and more because I like challenging myself. When I feel like I'm not learning or having fun anymore, then I'll stop.

In life, be a kid in a candy store.

Hell is a choice because salvation is available to anyone who seeks it.

Mental violence is as bad as physical violence. You don't see that very often in movies, so it was a good subject to tackle.

I have been consistent by staying true to who I am and will continue to sing the type of songs that those who have continued to support my career expect from me.

The most sincere form of love is love for food

Which would you rather be, a conqueror in the Olympic games, or the crier that proclaims who are conquerors?

Wherever the poetry of myth is interpreted as biography, history, or science, it is killed.

In the same way that a small child cannot draw a bad picture so a child of God cannot offer a bad prayer.

And then I am going to rattle the stars.
