You have to stick to your guns for what your vision is.

Sometimes you have to sacrifice because you see what the end goal is. When you have a dream and you want to get it done, you can't wait on other people.

I like being able to put out my own content instead of just going from audition to audition and just waiting and hoping.

I don't take Hollywood too seriously. I have kids that don't give a damn about what I'm shooting, they just want dinner. So that keeps me grounded.

You take the constructive criticism, because without the fans you would have no show.

I've been broke more than I've been rich. I like being in the middle way better.

As far as drug abuse and all that - listen, this is Hollywood. I don't know how I was able to avoid it, but I'm lucky that I did.

Going through your late teens and early 20s is not an easy time, especially in Hollywood. So you just learn your lessons, you make your mistakes and you move on.

If you want vampires and werewolves, faeries, fallen angels or zombies, you won't find them here. I know a real-life monster.

Your mood shouldn't dictate your manners.

Being the only man in the household with my mom definitely helped me grow up fast.

Confucius say... politician is one who shakes your hand before elections and your confidence after.

We either have a country or we don't. America is a country of laws. We either have a border or we don't.

There is nothing so bad or so good that you will not find Englishmen doing it; but you will never find an Englishman in the wrong. He does everything on principle.

God Himself has reserved no right of revision of His own laws nor is there any need for Him for any such revision.

It is exceedingly difficult to maintain a sense of absence without turning that absence into some kind of presence

Intellectual understanding blocks empathy.

The genuine artist is never 'true to life.' He sees what is real, but not as we are normally aware of it. We do not go storming through life like actors in a play. Art is never real life.
