Actor, Film Producer, Screenwriter, Environmentalist, Television Producer
The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it.
Every next level of your life will demand a different you.
I'm not the kind of person who tries to be cool or trendy. I'm definitely an individual.
I really don't know what I'm doing... I don't. It's terrible. I go in there and I learn how to act for movies. That's the only thing I know how to do.
I've always been spontaneous and outgoing... I've tried lots of things so I've got some good life experiences, which is great 'cause it means I've got lots of material to work with as an actor.
I don't see why I can't have friends of both sexes without wild rumors being circulated. It's crazy.
If you can do what you do best and be happy, you're further along in life than most people.
I get a friend to travel with me... I need somebody to bring me back to who I am. It's hard to be alone.
Be thankful for the hard times, for they have made you.
Pay close attention to people who don't clap when you win.
