Luck is a component that a lot of people in the arts sometimes fail to recognise: that you can have talent, perseverance, patience, but without luck you will not have a successful career.

I learned long ago to focus on things you can control and don't even pay attention to things you don't.

I have a lovely family who supports me and it's great.

With craziness, you can't predict it. There's very little defense you can have on craziness.

I think naturally, if you're an actor, there's a high level of assertiveness that you need to have to survive this business. There's boldness in being assertive, and there's strength and confidence.

You get addicted to emotions. Our endorphins kick in and it's like a high. On the low end you might love roller coasters. On the high end you might be a bank robber or something.

If you have a level of expectation in your life that you have to be a quote-unquote star, whatever that means, you might be setting yourself up for failure.

I think it's not a question of why, more a question of why not.

Take a chance. Take a risk. Find that passion and rekindle it. Fall in love all over again. It's really worth it.

If you work hard, you have a better chance of producing something that you're proud of. If you don't, you won't. It's really simple.

I own my life to the Saviour, who saved me.

Above average intelligence has always run in my family. Ambition, however, has always walked with a limp.

Even the indie rock world - which is supposed to be about truth and independence from corporate mindfulness or something - is totally subject to the paraphernalia of celebrity.

I was sailing from tedium to apathy with a side trip to torpor.

To be in the association of those aspiring to love God is the ultimate gift of God.

My life is very busy with a lot of things, and so I don't get uninterrupted time. When I do, I can just write all day.
