The only place that I'd be worried about being typecast is the independent film world.

I was in Jersey when the whole World Trade Center thing happened and I felt powerless. So, I went to Hawaii and did a surf movie. It's kind of fluffy.

I was born in Texas and I lived there 'till I was 8. Then I moved to the Dominican Republic with my mom, lived there for two years and forgot every word of English I knew.

Whenever a female takes a strong stand for herself, the majority of the time they have to really, really narrow it down to being feminine and wearing dresses and just being lipstick chic.

You can keep knocking me down forever, I'll keep getting up and trying.

The more confidence you have in yourself and the more you believe that you are destined to do what you are gonna do, it will happen.

When I was about, I'd say, 18 or 19 years old, I wanted to be a part of the CIA just because they know those intimate secrets... So I was just always into knowing. I like to know things.

My favorite part of my body is my brain. I think no matter what my body looks like I wont be satisfied unless I know how to use it.

I do what I want, when I want, how I want, and because of that, it has taken me so long to grow into an adult human being.

I'm stubborn. I'm hardheaded. I don't do what I don't want to do.

I knew nothing about the independent film industry. I didn't know much about the industry itself. All I knew was how to watch movies, how to enjoy them, how to hate them, how not to like them.

I was sick of the body count that existed around my family. It seemed statistically that eventually the body count would include my family.

The early bird gets the worm that should have slept in.

The "terror" of the French Revolution lasted for ten years. The terror that preceded and led to it lasted for a thousand years.

No matter what you look like, there's somebody who's gonna think you're the handsomest man in the world.

Pleasure to me is wonder—the unexplored, the unexpected, the thing that is hidden and the changeless thing that lurks behind superficial mutability.

When I'm worried and I can't sleep I count my blessings instead of sheep.

This is a rumour-filled society and if people want to sit around and talk about whom I've dated, then I'd say they have a lot of spare time and should consider other topics... or masturbation.

Being a good teammate is when you try to sprint down a ball that everyone thinks is going out of bounds. But you go after it anyways and you get it.

In plain truth, lying is an accursed vice. We are not men, nor have any other tie upon another, but by our word.

To those who feel defeated and downtrodden, look to the early hours of the day for your rescue...Shadows of yesterday's grief melt in the rays of early morn's opportunity.
