I don't believe in charmed lives. I think that tragedy is part of the lesson you learn to lift yourself up, to pick yourself up and to move on.

I am human, and, yeah, I have very bad days.

Actors - we're selfish, but we can't think about the work in that kind of selfish manner. I think that you have to step away from yourself, if you're going to do it. Otherwise don't do it; otherwise why do it?

I like hard work. I like putting the effort towards it and then being able to look at it and go, "All right, I did that."

My mother is one of those very unusual, superb human beings-she's innately strong and incredibly smart. She created an environment for me to explore who I was.

I just want to make good movies. Honestly, the only difference for me with this stuff is that there is more people on the set.

Boys don't really like big nerdy glasses. Not so much.
