The person that's always talkin', you don't have to worry about that person. The person that while you're in his face, he's just lookin' at you with a smile on his face, that's the guy you worry about.

When something happens, we always say it happens for a reason.

The government needs the help of industry. But the reality is companies will balance that against their own commercial interest in a very competitive market.

Don't depend on acting as your sole source of income. Work nights, so you can have your days off to attend auditions. Have something to fall back on. That's what my mother taught me, and it's critical in Hollywood.

A lot of kids think they can just go to Hollywood and become an actor or actress. It's not that easy. There are millions of kids who come out here wanting to act. So, you have to have a plan, and you have to stick with that plan, because it's not going to be easy by any means.

So it was a thing that my mother always taught me to go for your goals and never give up no matter what they are, and I started believing that later on in life.
