It's my job as an actor to commit to the role and not - through my own inhibitions - run away.

I try never to be governed by fear; that's how I choose things.

I want to be contributing and working with people that I like and love, and this was the perfect combination.

It took me a very long time to heal. It was a shock to my system.

I love acting but I don't like all of the other stuff associated with it. The interest in celebrities, the press, the Internet, when your identity becomes mixed up in the way people are perceiving you.

You've got to find your bliss as a human being, because if you can follow that, everything else falls into place.

I was taught a very strong work ethic that included punctuality, which I've always felt is a sign of respect for others.
