It is not where you start out in life that counts the most, it is how you choose to face it.

I wanna better understand the world I live in, and I wanna be able to learn how to be more effective... I wanna learn and I wanna listen.

Everyone can help. We can educate ourselves and our children about other countries and cultures. We have a responsibility to be aware of others and I believe this will inspire the individual way each person can make their difference.

I like to hide behind the characters I play. Despite the public perception, I am a very private person who has a hard time with the fame thing.

I think I connect to people who could be written off as wild or dark, or who are just full of fire and looking for a place to put that fire. It's an important lesson to learn, and it's something I did learn: you live on behalf of others and you're happier and you have purpose. And you have a great excuse to have all that fire.

To do something good, it has to scare you.

If you become aware of a public self, you're in danger of becoming a very artificial person.
