We've been trained since kindergarten: Be nice, be kind, share, put on a smile. So we're conditioned to squash our natural selfish instincts, and that's the right thing for society.

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.

Every experience feeds an actor, and I've learned that depression is all around us.

If I told you that I imagine love to be a two-way mirror, which side of the mirror would you imagine me standing on?

If you listen to music every day, you will strengthen your soul.

I don't buy 'regret' idea. I need life's good lesson.

The country is not growing because the mental state of the people are retarded

It is quite possible that we can do greater things than Jesus, for what is written in the Bible about him is poetically embellished.

We have to make a sustained effort, again and again, to cultivate the positive aspects within us.

As "unkindness has no remedy at law," let its avoidance be with you a point of honor.

God doesn't make orange juice, God makes oranges.

You acquire a new kind of intelligence when you stay away from instant news.

My preference is live performance, because you get the feedback. There's an energy. It's live theater. That's why I think actors like that.
