Personal Quotes
I know this sounds kind of crazy, but I think we’re all actors.
One of my greatest fears is not being able to change, to be caught in a never-ending cycle of sameness. Growth is so important.
I only hear my own voice. When you start hearing other voices, then it’s time to worry.
I don’t hide out. If you build a wall around yourself, it draws people to invade it. Fear is the enemy.
I think the reason I’ve survived that long is because I’ve taken my work so seriously. Maybe sometimes too seriously, but it’s always been important for me to do my best regardless of the film. I think the biggest compliment I get is when people on the street stop me and say they’ve liked the choices I’ve made. 8Source: azquotes.com
