Leave every place you go, everything you touch, a little better for your having been there.

I had a hockey puck and stick-the only ones in town. I definitely would have played hockey ahead of football, had it been available.

You always be like, I hope I'm ready.

I think the world is going to be saved by millions of small things.

Acting can be the healthiest profession in the world, because it allows you to do things you can't do in real life. It allows you to understand more than just what life provides you.
