opportunity people admire
I love what I do. If I have the opportunity to do what I do with people I admire, it's 10 times better.
opportunity long preparation
So I feel like success is opportunity plus preparation, so work begets work, and as long as you're prepared it's going to continue to come your way.
fun opportunity interesting
Do you want to be an actor, or do you want to be a celebrity? I made that decision when I went to Juilliard. I wanted to be an actor. So, if I get the opportunity to be an actor and do some cool, fun and interesting projects, I'm going to do that.
school hard-work opportunity
I went to school and made good grades and went to college. So I was afforded an opportunity through my parents' hard work that most people don't have.
fun opportunity interesting
If I get the opportunity to be an actor and do some cool, fun and interesting projects, I'm going to do that.
episode movies recognized
With all the movies I've done, I still get recognized from my episode of 'Law & Order' more than anything else. It never fails.
kings essence luther
I'm not Martin Luther King. I can't be Martin Luther King. The only thing I can do is present what I feel the essence of Martin Luther King is.
girl art dad
It's because the idea of what's cool is different. When you talk to a girl who goes to regular school, what's cool is whether or not you've been to jail, or if you have a car. If you talk to a girl who goes to art school, what's cool to her is if you do art projects on the weekend with your dad, if you can build something - out-of-the-norm stuff.
thinking talking want
I think you can only be outgoing when the person you're talking to is outgoing. I can be outgoing if I want to be, if you meet me halfway.
pride despair depth
Even though homelessness reaches into the depths of despair, there's also a pride and beauty in it, as well.
guy hollywood fingers
Hollywood's a business, and until someone puts their finger on you and decides you're the guy who's going to carry that movie, it's not going to happen.
real goal nuance
Playing somebody who's real, you can bring all kind of nuances and things to him that you get from source material and things like that, but the more popular or known the person is, the more impossible it is. To get it right, that is the goal.
kings wall school
When I was in high school, I read the whole thing about Don King and he had this quote that said, "Set yourself on fire and the world will pay to watch you burn." I thought that was the most amazing thing I'd ever heard and I wrote it on my wall.
people
Not too many people can say they love what they do and they really like the people they work with.
