In conclusion, I invite the media to all grow a pair. And if you can't, I will lend you mine.
You learn early as an actor that creating your own material is the only way to have any control.
There's only, like, five perfectly symmetrical people in the world, and they're all movie stars, and they should be, because their faces are very pleasing to look at, but the rest of us are just a jangle of stuff, and the earlier you learn that you should focus on what you have and not obsess about what you don't have, the happier you will be.
You aren't allowed to feel special, but no one knows the specific ways you are in pain.
You become more attractive when you love yourself. You attract the right things when you have a sense of who you are.
I like to do things that challenge me and make me nervous.
We don't want to be afraid to make a choice because we're afraid to make a mistake because most decisions aren't final. Feelings change all the time. You can always change your mind and taking risks and making choices is what makes life so exciting because we never know what's going to happen. Every day something new comes our way.
When young girls are encouraged to explore what they find interesting, they grow up to be interesting women.
Watching great people do what you love is a good way to start learning how to do it yourself.
I grew up watching skating all the time in the Olympic stuff.
Rooting for other people's failure does get in the way of your success.
Creativity is connected to your passion, that light inside you that drives you. That joy that comes when you do something you love. That small voice that tells you, 'I like this. Do this again. You are good at it. Keep going.' That is the juicy stuff that lubricates our lives and helps us feel less alone in the world.
Open-faced sandwiches take risks and live big and smile with all their teeth. These are the people I want to be around.
Try putting your iPhones down every once in a while and look at people's faces.
