My mother said I was a star when I was about four years old. That's all I need.

You hurt the ones you love the most. Because it hurts you the most.

I think what qualitiy make for good directors is being able to articulate what you want; it can cause problems with a lack of communication. I'm not an actor who requires much talking to a director, I don't want to sit down and discuss a scene for hours and hours; that would bore me.

With a director it's all about the work; I'd work with a great director over - you know, I'm not the kind of actor who that doesn't go, 'I want to play this role.' It's more like, 'I want to work with this director,' regardless of what the role is because if it's a good director, you'll probably find a good role because it's a decent film. But a mediocre director will always make a mediocre movie.

If I wasn't so insecure about myself I wouldn't work as hard as I do. I am constantly seeking approval.

Even though I've had the body of work I've had, and the success I've had, I do not rest on my laurels whatsoever.

When it comes to dreams, one may falter, but the only way to fail is to abandon them.
