I have more awareness of other people and, I hope, more sensitivity to their needs. I also find that I'm more direct and outspoken.

Once you choose hope, anything's possible

The bigger the canvas, the better I do. I'm not so good at understated, kitchen-sink kinds of parts.

My father is an intellectual and physical man, which is a rather unusual combination. He's great. As he brought up me and my brothers and sisters, he ingrained in us that your appearance is not your responsibility, other than that you should not be a slob.

We all have many more abilities and internal resources than we know. My advice is that you don't need to break your neck to find out about them.

Success is finding satisfaction in giving a little more than you take.

Don't give up. Don't lose hope. Don't sell out.
