I got sick of turning on the TV and seeing my face.
By the time I entered high school, I had forsaken academics altogether in favor of my burgeoning acting career.
Since I'm not sure of the address to which to send my gratitude, I put it out there in everything I do.
No matter how much fame you have, it's not something that belongs to you. If I'm famous, that doesn't belong to me-that belongs to you. If you can't remember who I am, I'm no longer famous.
I don't keep up with it all. But Taylor Swift writes songs about everybody she goes out with, right? What a way to build a career.
My tattoo is that I don't have a tattoo.
I definitely believe in a higher power.
I don't want people to kick my ass, I just want to get to a point where they can't kick it.
Everybody in the world knew I was before I knew who I was.
I don't look at life as a battle or as a fight. I don't think I'm scrappy. I'm accepting.
Pay attention to what's happening around you. Read the book before you see the movie. Remember, though you, alone, are responsible for your own happiness, its still okay to feel responsible for someone else's. Live and to learn.
I have so many things that I say to my kids, I just drive them crazy.
I love the irony. I'm perceived as being really young and yet I have the clinical condition of an old man.
The oldest form of theater is the dinner table. It's got five or six people, new show every night, same players. Good ensemble; the people have worked together a lot.
