Either you decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool or you go out in the ocean.

You play the hand you're dealt. I think the game's worthwhile.

Pain is inevitable. Misery is a choice.

I remember telling a neurosurgeon, "Don't give me too much information, because at the moment my ignorance is my best asset."

When I first began acting, I assumed an intellectual responsibility attached to my profession, which I had accepted for a long time. My father taught me that an actor had to have a social and political conscience, and that the work that he does has to reflect from that.

In the face of adversity, hope often comes in the form of a friend who reaches out to us.

I have never been disabled in my dreams.
