I was and I still am a dreamer, that made me the person I am today

Don't ask for anyone's permission to follow your dreams

Louisiana is a place that you escape, not a place that you leave.

When you’re young, you don’t know that you’re poor, you just know whether or not you’re happy. And i was happy, and loved. My mom did whatever she has to do to get by, and the lesson i learned from my childhood was that it’s possible to pursue happiness, no matter where that pursuit may lead you.

I think I remember from the offset I said, 'I've visited this territory. This isn't for me.' And then I read the script and I said, 'You know, this is completely something different. This is a whole new life.'

It’s about getting to a point in your life where you’re ready to let go and move on and become the better version of yourself.

I get a terminal dissatisfaction on films. If I was bad in one scene, it's impossible to let go. And it can make or break my day. If I drank, I would probably drink a lot.
