My first movie was a movie that had a bunch of people dying in it - the typical popcorn movie. That's where I got my start.

We make conscious choices to do something a certain way.

I think for most actors, because we sort of have to tell ourselves this, we always say, 'Oh, it doesn't mean anything to win an Oscar!' It certainly isn't a goal that you want to set yourself up for, because then you're just setting yourself up for disaster. Because how many people actually win an Oscar?

Any addict in recovery would say that life never becomes perfect. Your life is better, but that doesn't mean it's easier. Life, at least for a certain period of time, becomes harder and you have to work through that to get to the light at the end of the tunnel.

I don't have phobias. I'm pretty laid back. Nothing really bothers me. I can handle things pretty well.

I was kind of embarrassed by some of the films I had done. I was like, "Oh, they're going to think I don't have street cred."

My first paying job was guest starring in 'Touched By An Angel' when I was 12. It was very exciting. I couldn't believe you got free food all day and people were so nice to you.
