My family is not at all involved in television, or film, or theatre, or any of it, really.

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.

I really love being a character actor.

I had been wanting to do a musical for a really long time. I wanted people in New York to know that I can sing.

I grew up in the Southern Baptist Church, where my father was a minister at music, so I sang in the church all the time.

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

I started performing in high school. There was a pretty great drama department at my school, and that's when I started doing plays and musicals.

You are the grim, goal-oriented ones who will not believe that the joy is in the journey rather than the destination no matter how many times it has been proven to you.

Telling people what to do is showmanship.Showing people how to do it is leadership.

For the United States of America, the best is yet to come.

The stronger a brand’s point of view, the greater its voltage.

Ive always had a fascination about mixing music. So I downloaded an application and started messing around with it, and it just built up from there.

I'm never nervous when I go to meet heads of state. I feel they should be nervous, because they are the ones who'll be held accountable for the lives their decisions will impact the most.

London is my favorite place in the world. I love London. I think it has the best of L.A. and New York in one, and I have a really great friend there.

The freedom of Mankind does not lie in the fact that can do what we want, but that we do not have to do that which we do not want.

So long as money can answer, it were wrong in any business to put the life in danger.

There can be no freedom for Africa without justice; and no justice without declaring war on Africa's poverty, disease and famine with as much vehemence as we remove the tyrant and the terrorist.
