Until I did my work and I did my utmost best, I feel like I don't have a right to feel excited.

If anything, it was a very egotistical thing because I wanted to move people. I wanted to tell a story and move people.

What you try to do, as an actor, is just make it work somehow.

There's this feeling, when you stop believing it's a show and you're there and this is happening.

For a relative newcomer, it's obviously a dream to work with such a talented actress as Anna Paquin, who won an Oscar at 10, or something ridiculous like that. That's a dream.

After I've done a good job, then I can get excited. Obviously, it would be very easy to get carried away, but I wanted to own that excitement.

Having a good director is very important. It's crucial. When you do good work with a certain director, you want to work with them again, and hopefully vice versa.

I felt like I had to prove myself, but I feel that you have to do that anyway, as an actor. You're there to do a job, and that's your primary concern.

An actor's job is to do their job. It's great if it's successful and it's fantastic when it's a huge hit, but at the same time, you're there to do a job and make sure you do it well.

You should always view any job as just as nerve-wracking or just as exciting as any other.

Think'st thou heaven is such a glorious thing?I tell thee, 'tis not so fair as thouOr any man that breathes on earth.

Keep your mindset strong, your heart pure, your intentions kind and your dreams big.

We are all born to fly. Instead, we sit on the branches afraid of the leap into the unknown. But the unknown is where enlightenment lives. Our true nature is the unknown.

This living stuff is a lot. Too much, and not enough. Half empty, and half full.

Look, I got 11,052 songs on my iPod. Cyndi Lauper, Guns N' Roses, Geto Boys, N.W.A. push shuffle and anything will come on.

Goods are theirs that enjoy them.

I adore Madonna. She reinvents herself like no one else.

Citizens, you will elect me - I will be your leader.

Winning is what happens when commitment, desire, talent, preparation, hard work, and leadership all come together.
