I work hard for the audience. It's entertainment. I don't need validation.

It's simple: You get a part. You play a part. You play it well. You do your work and you go home. And what is wonderful about movies is that once they're done, they belong to the people. Once you make it, it's what they see. That's where my head is at.

You have to grab moments when they happen. I like to improvise and ad lib.

What it taught me was forgiveness. It taught me that when people present themselves in a certain way, there's probably some back story or issue or reason for the way that they are. It's not you. It's them. And a lot of times, its about something that's completely out of their control

I'd be more frightened by not using whatever abilities I'd been given. I'd be more frightened by procrastination and laziness.

We've all received our share of good fortune, so that's my definition of much. A single blessing is all the bounty in the world, and if you've been blessed at all you're meant to pass some of that on. You're meant to set a positive example. That's our responsibility

I never really had the classic struggle. I had faith.

I think a role model is a mentor - someone you see on a daily basis, and you learn from them.

The time to worrying about flying is when you're on the ground. When you're up in the air, it's too late. No point in worrying about it then.
