I think as working actors, it's like sales. You're only as good as your last sale, so you put your all into something and you just hope that from that you can get your next job.

Anytime where you're challenged, physically or mentally, you rise to the occasion in different ways.

I was raised by a single mother.

Real artists take the misery and sadness of life and translate it into art.

I have a respect for the 3-D computer-generated action movies, but my first love is stuff like 'Lethal Weapon.

I am happiest when I am working though, when I am being creative. I realized at a very young age what I loved doing. I think it is so important for people to pursue the things that they love and not give up on their dreams.

I do work too hard sometimes, but my mom is such an inspiration. She tells me to 'chill out' and not take things so seriously. She will say: 'Go and have a massage.'
