People always assume that things are just handed to me, but I've had to prove myself, every inch of the way.

I have to save the parts of my soul that are left for the good roles and the true love.

There's nothing you could really avoid about giving yourself to somebody who ultimately rejects you. That's just life.

I wouldn't play the normal girl. I don't think that that's interesting or realistic, as far as how human beings really are.

It's a good idea to prioritize your life and not making drinking the top priority. I think there are aspects of it that definitely illuminate bad decisions and how they'll negatively affect you.

I like living in California. I think it's the best state, although we're supposedly the most hated state of all.

When you do well at an audition, it is the highest high you can achieve because you just beat yourself. You became whatever it was, for a minute. It's a great feeling, when that happens.

The stakes are so high because auditions are make or break. You get the job or you don't. The stakes are about as high as they get, for yourself and your own self-esteem.

It would be nice to not have to prove myself, and for people to know that I'm good and can play a role. Whatever role that is that lets people know that I can play the next role is what I want to do.

My only intention is to just have a little bit more success so that my career is easier and I don't have to work so hard just to get a job.

I would love to play a role that is a lead role that people appreciate and a lot of people get to see. I just don't want to have to fight for every role anymore.

I don't believe in worrying. It's a waste of energy.

What a curious power words have.

Death is the ultimate cessation of the individual Self.

That was the nature of history, of course: notional, partial, unknowable, a record made by the victors.

Ideas do not need weapons.

Nonviolent struggle is the most powerful means available to those struggling for freedom.

Quit sharing bad news and gossip you aren't a garbage truck.

It is necessary for men to be deceived in religion.

I was like every other boy in India, with a dream of playing for my country. Yet I could never have imagined a journey so long and so fulfilling. No dream is ever chased alone.

Tis looking downward makes one dizzy.
