In order for your dreams to come true, you've got to stay awake.

I'd like to have a decade of my life back. I dropped into a void for almost a decade.

There's no nobility with war. It's tear-'em-up destruction that leaves you frustrated, bitter and angry... If you really knew what it was like for an hour, you wouldn't want anyone to go through it.

I was doing judo before anybody knew it existed in this country.

That place that no one knows about - horrifying things we keep secret. A lot of that is released through acting.

I was born looking older... and I've been aging since I was a teenager.

Dancing came easy for me. Acting came hard.

Acting is ephemeral. You can't hang it on a wall. You can't throw it off. And you can't bring it out of a closet. It's there one night and it's gone the next, at least with stage acting anyhow.

You make the money in movies and TV so you can do theater. I do a play a year... somewhere.

Sometimes you succeed and sometimes you don't.

I try to get back for every holiday to see my parents. Love being home and with my family.

I don't want to be like anybody else.

I was a bit of a loner as a teenager. I never went to a single social event, because they terrified me.

The ego-drama is nothing compared with the theo-drama. The fun begins when we let God write our stories.
