Personal Quotes

If you find something you are passionate about, you’ve got to try. Even if something doesn’t quite work out, disappointment is a temporary thing. Regret lasts forever.

If we just create and don’t think about what might happen, that’s when we’re going to get into trouble.

Making a pretty picture, an image, is a completely different thing from acting to camera.

I haven’t always wanted to be an actor, no. I wasn’t one of the little kids that was desperate to be an actor. I did a lot of drama and a lot of music, but it was just something for fun on the side. I was quite shy as a kid and I found a lot of freedom in performing. I never knew you could do it as a job.

I think we have a tendency to support the underdogs. 8Source: azquotes.com
