Hollywood is so governed by the ego, and I never wanted to fall into that trap.

I can be dramatic. I can be funny. I can be sexy. I can be sad. I can be glad.

I grew up an athlete. Track and field and dance. In track, I actually went to the Junior Olympics. I've always been very athletic.

We need happy, productive citizens on our planet for us to survive.

Unfortunately, when you're an actor you're like 'Ah, if the only knew.'

I think it's always nice to have a film where the underdog comes out on top, doing their best, and surpasses everybody's expectations.

I'm happy when people come up and say how they feel about what your character went through, you know, I went through and it's helping me deal with it. I get to see the movie through the audience's eyes and that's really gratifying.
