I grew up in a very small town in Florida, like, 7,000 people.

I got into acting my junior year of high school. We got a new hot drama teacher and I was like 'Alright, I'll try drama.'

I don't trust a girl that doesn't eat. I find that a little sketchy.

I've always felt like I can dance.

Living in somebody else's pain for an actor man, it's actually nice when you get to feel that kind of emotion. That's what I like.

For me, I still have feelings for all of my ex-girlfriends. In different parts of my life, I would miss that person. There's something that drew me to that person, and I shared something with them.

I'm still waiting for my first big Hollywood paycheck... maybe I'll play a superhero.

Four is a powerful figure in literature and physical form

At the end of the day, it's hard to keep relationships with people. I've got my family, my best friends and if a girl's gonna be a part of that then it's got to be good. If not, I'm out.

In most relationships, somebody cares about the other one more and that's usually why you get out of a relationship because it's not reciprocated.

My second grade teacher told me I would never graduate high school. That I was going to be a juvenile delinquent.

The Highest Thought is always that thought which contains joy. The Clearest Words are those words which contain truth. The Grandest Feeling is that feeling which you call love.

Life is about experience... You can't hold on to everything

Yeah, well my name is Bai Ling. That means white spirit, and I really feel like sometimes I'm not existing.

You can only desire something that you've already had in your life.

It's only a little difficult to say no. You've got to believe that the work you're doing is ultimately more useful to the world.

I fear we might be losing the basic human facility to be alone - and with that you throw out independent decision-making, what to trust, what not to trust; key stuff - a perilous loss.

Precisely that, covering 500 years of African-American history in six hours. I've been working on this for seven years. The biggest challenge was deciding which stories to tell.

I'm jealous of that time when you could afford lofts and survive on almost nothing. You can't do that anymore.

My greatest asset now is my focus.

Music should come crashing out of your speakers and grab you, and the lyrics should challenge whatever preconceived notions that listener has.
