You know, be an actor because you love to act. Don't be an actor because you think you're going to get famous, because that's luck.

I believe that parts of people like John Garfield and Moms Mabley, the parts of them that I needed to be able to do what I'm doing, came into me. There's a very nice feeling that there are many, many spirits inside of me looking after me . . .

We're here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark.

I'd like everyone to imagine a world where you get a job as Tom, and then the next day you're Tina. Imagine you're in the world where you love what you do, but people say that you can't be who you are.

I am where I am because I believe in all possibilities.

If there wasn't something called acting, they would probably hospitalize people like me.

When I forget how talented God is, I look to the sea.
