Cancer is enough to get my attention.

With me, personal relationships are like my religion. I care that deeply about them. I am the complete opposite of a manipulative smoothie.

Tom doesn't have any principles, or if he does, he puts them aside whenever they're inconvenient. The truth hurts, doesn't it, Tom?

I don't accept what people say. I took something to be copied recently, to be enlarged and blown up, and they said it couldn't be done, and I went somewhere five minutes away, and they did it.

The amount of work and the amount of both physical and emotional investment it takes to get to the top.

I was trained by Stella Adler for theater so you kind of give it all on every take.
