China has been a textbook case of how the government did just enough intervention to increase penetration, but the reality is that it isn't going to work for all countries in the same way. Culture always plays a role and you can't necessarily take what worked in one market and automatically make it work somewhere else.

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.

My best advice about working in Hollywood is: Save your money!

I tell people, 'It's just like a cliche, but it's true: In Hollywood, dreams can come true.'

I was up around 340 pounds because the producers said they wanted a really big guy, and I'm not that big, you know! I've lost it all now though. I'm 285 pounds, my sexy weight!

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

Always wake up with a smile on your face, because a lot of people who went to sleep last night are not with us this morning.
