It's fun to explore areas that are taboo that you're not allowed to in real life as an actor.

I was considered the black sheep of the family, neighbours didn't want their kids playing with me.

It's simple. Eat well, exercise and get lots of sleep but make sure you indulge occasionally. At my age , I think , what the hell , and eat a Krispy Kreme doughnut !

I relax by taking my bicycle apart and putting it back together again.

I used to smoke two packs a day and I just hate being a nonsmoker.... but I will never consider myself a nonsmoker because I always find smokers the most interesting people at the table.

It is easy to be popular. It is not easy to be just.

There is not a thing as the wrong place, or the wrong time. We are where we are at the only time we have. Perhaps it's where we're meant to be.
