Things work in spite of me sometimes.

When you create art, the world has to wait.

I want to be the person that is the first person there and the last person to leave. That's who I want to be, because I think the road to success is through commitment, and through the strength to drive through that commitment when it gets hard. And it is going to get hard and you're going to want to quit sometimes, but it'll be colored by who you are, and more by who you want to be.

I can't run away when I'm scared. I always have to attack. That's how I deal with seemingly difficult things.

Part of being an actor is almost self-hypnosis during those brief moments when the cameras are rolling. You want to actually believe you're Chris Gardner or Muhammad Ali.

Life is...the moments that take your breath away.

I want the world to be better because I was here.
