A man once told me that you step out of your door in the morning, and you are already in trouble. The only question is are you on top of that trouble or not?

Writing is a weapon and it’s more powerful than a fist could ever be.

I actually don't hang out with any celebrities. My closest friends are old friends. And my real close friends, none of them are actors.

There are films that I don't like, and then someone will come up to me and say it's their favorite movie. The movies belong to the people. You make them and you put them out. For me, I love the process of making films. For me, my favorite film is always my next one.

I had a lot of success from the start. I never really was tested for long periods of time. I got my first professional job while I was a senior in college. I signed with the William Morris Agency before I graduated.

Talent comes from God. If you have been given some, then value it, cultivate it, work and develop it.

I pray that you all put your shoes way under the bed at night so that you gotta get on your knees in the morning to find them. And while you're down there thank God for grace and mercy and understanding. We all fall short of the glory, we all got plenty.
