I can't stand being stagnant. Every day is a new opportunity to achieve something, even on a small scale.

My friends joke that I love planning things - which I do - and the reason is because there's so much I want to do, so many things I want to see and experience. If I don't actively pursue these things, I will never do everything I want to do, in life and in my career. That's what gets me up in the morning.

People who have come from nothing and started their own business or opened up a whole new niche in a particular industry, they truly inspire me.

It's healthy to periodically self examine your life, your goals, your relationships, and ask yourself honestly, am I happy? Am I on the right track?

Successful people inspire me, and I don't mean just in their career but people who have amazing families, or who have made a difference, or followed their dreams.

For the longest time I have had so much belief and confidence in myself, which as an actor you need, because the entertainment industry is incredible competitive, brutal, and unpredictable just when you start to think you know what's going on.

A lack of direction and meaning can leave you empty.
