I got into acting because I wanted to act and I love acting. That's my true north: to be creative and to be challenged in what I love to do.

It's easy to do nothing, but your heart breaks a little more every time you do.

I remember riding my bike down the boardwalk with nowhere to go and looking at the girls. It was really innocent.

I became an actor so I didn't have to be myself.

I think of marriage as a garden. You have to tend to it. Respect it, take care of it, feed it. Make sure everyone is getting the right amount of, um, sunlight.

Love conquers all - love is the grace that transcends any kind of injustice in the end.

When you have to fight for the things you love, you have to measure the value of those things in ways you may not in any other way.

You value the thing you are fighting for, but then you learn to value the time it takes to do it and the time you have off. Both of which are precious.

Burning natural gas will not save us from climate change. It's the same as burning any other carbon-based fuel.

People say funny things all the time during really serious moments in life.

If I had to choose a moment in time when I knew my life would be different going forward—when I knew I would be different—this would be it.

That stranger handed me a letter written in my beloved's tears. I opened it, and the letters faded away just like his love for me.

Don't let anybody make you think God chose America as His divine messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world.

Why not help one another on the way..makes it much easier

Modernization means Westernization.

I felt caged by my childhood.

Fear's the only obstacle that gets in the way of doing what we love. Fear holds us back from living the lives we're made to live.

What is accidented is reality.

The child that never learns to obey his parents in the home will not obey God or man out of the home.
