I don't think I've mastered anything. I'm still wrestling with the same frustrations, the same issues, the same problems as I always did. That's what life is like.

People need to see what's going on, and they have to be exposed to the mechanisms that can help make it right.

What I hate is the loss of anonymity.

I had no expectation of the level of adulation that would come my way. I just wanted to make a living with a regular role in a television series.

The only ambition I ever had going into and committing to wanting to be an actor was to live my life.

I don't want to be a movie star. I want to be in movies that are stars.

I realized early on that success was tied to not giving up. Most people in this business gave up and went on to other things. If you simply didn't give up, you would outlast the people who came in on the bus with you.
