I love acting it's apart of me and I try to put a little bit of myself in each of my roles.

Know what you want to do, because if you don't know what you want to do, you'll get stuck.

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.

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

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.

Of course, people told me, 'Mikey, you will never be an actor. You don't have the look. You're ugly.'

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.
