There is going to be a hundred thousand doors slammed in your face before one opens, so feel ok about taking rejection.

I think it magnified it. For me, I wasn't sheltered so I think it was magnified. Especially when you're a teenager and you go to high school and you're in the business and you are known.

I will say that my personal business is my personal business. And I will leave it at that.

It doesn't matter if a critic pans or praises my movies, I am only concerned about that one audience member and what their experience is.

I've been given so much, and if I can just give back a tenth of what I've been given, then it's all worth it.

I'm not going to let fear rule my life. I'd rather be able to know that I've made a choice that's right for me, than saying yes because I don't want my agents to be upset with me.

There’s a fear that grasps each individual and what they think is right and what they think is wrong.
