Oh, the Places You'll Go!,' by Dr. Seuss, is still one of my favorite books ever.

You have to be precisely in the moment in order to box. And I just love that. I just love the idea of right now we're here, be here.

There's no negatives. You just have to trust that what's happening in your life is unfolding in exactly the right way.

I haven't tucked a sock in my pants for three years.

You're always going to make mistakes. That's life. You just want to grow from them and try to make as few as possible. That's why you do reach out and ask people for help, where needed.

Sometimes you have to get to the heart of a character through your heart. Your own heart. And it's what makes us similar and what makes us different.

The truth is, after Boys Don't Cry, I realized how few and far between the great roles are. I am beyond thankful for finding Million Dollar Baby.
