I do come from a theater background, where the playwright is optimal and king and you have to serve the playwright. So I am, of course, a huge fan of scripted everything.

I don't believe in pick-up lines because I've always been very comfortable in my own skin.

I don't take myself too seriously. I think that's something so many actors and people in general tend to do.

The thing about a pick-up line is, even if it works, then what? I just figure you unapologetically be yourself, and if it works, cool.

I always separate myself from reviews, but tweets and Instagram comments, they go directly to my phone. It's hard to keep up.

You definitely have to be focused at certain times in your life and in your career, but at the end of the day, there's only so much you can do. Then you just have to chock it up to fate.

I do like to dress up and look nice, and I'm inspired by people who do the same - people who express themselves through how they dress.

I want longevity. I don't want to be a flash in the pan. I want to continue to do good work and projects that inspire me, and if I can have fun while doing it, that's the dream.

I like to do things that are shocking or challenging for the sake of comedy.

I cannot sing karaoke because it's hard and weird. If I actually tried to sing, I would probably sound good, and I think that's weird and not fun.

I have never read a review for anything I have ever done, be it for theater or movies, just because. I am really good about that. And YouTube comments. People will hide behind that.

Your purpose has the capacity to employ and enrich you for a lifetime.

The statue of the Laughing Buddha act as a good friend. Whenever we are off the track, his smiling face can bring us back to the present moment, to a positive mood.

In her final years she would still recall the trip that, with the perverse lucidity of nostalgia, became more and more recent in her memory.

I wanted so terribly to be good to him.

Remember that not to be happy is not to be grateful.

Every time I feel depressed or frustrated, I just have to drive on the highway during rush hours, then I feel very grateful I don't have to do this everyday.

Politically, the goal of today’s dominant trend is statism. Philosophically, the goal is the obliteration of reason; psychologically, it is the erosion of ambition.

Seldom indeed does human virtue rise From trunk to branch.

I'm not going to let fear rule my life. I'd rather be able to know that I've made a choice that's right for me, than saying yes because I don't want my agents to be upset with me.

And I think to myself what a wonderful world. Oh, yeah.
