I learned long ago to focus on things you can control and don't even pay attention to things you don't.

In order to be an actor you really have to be one of those types of people who are risk-takers and have what is considered an actor's arrogance, which is not to say an arrogance in your personal life. But you have to be the type of person who wants the ball with seconds left in the game.

I think the best-written films or television series have a measure of the opposite of what they are.

When actors first come up, you're auditioning for everything - you're trying to sniff it out like a pig with a truffle and you would do anything!

It is my biggest fear, something happening to a child, your child, is unfathomable.

Take a chance. Take a risk. Find that passion and rekindle it. Fall in love all over again. It`s really worth it.

It's cyclical. I'm riding a wave right now, and I recognize that. I wanna do as much work as I can, do the best I can. And when it's all said and done and they say, "Get outta the water, you're done," I wanna be so exhausted that I look forward to it.
