My friends and family definitely helped me with the biggest obstacle in my life, which was just staying in L.A. long enough to really give it a shot.

I like to do my research, get in the right mental state for the person I'll be portraying. A lot of time, it's just incorporating a lot of what that person would be into, into my daily routine.

Challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challenges.

The secret to enlightenment is kindness and selfless giving. Without that, it's just words, isn't it?

All human life is precious.

Let your intentions be good - embodied in good thoughts, cheerful words, and unselfish deeds - and the world will be to you a bright and happy place in which to work and play and serve
