You have to keep hobbies in L.A. Otherwise, it's sad.

Filmmaking is a huge privilege; it's not brain surgery. It's art, and art is supposed to be an enjoyable process, and it is an enjoyable experience for me.

I like my body, I like to have fun with what I put on, but I also want to remain classic. So I guess my signature is sexy and eclectic but classic.

I had had a huge background in the nuance of the accent because I went to drama school in England for four years.

I'm vegan on home base, but when I travel to other countries, I throw it all into the garbage.

Don't be bashful

The world is indeed a better place when there is love, friendship, acceptance and hope. Powered by these you can indeed overcome anything including destiny.

I don't actually think “true love” is such a good term because love can only be true. If it isn't true it can't be love.

When you make a movie it's always interesting, because you end up in places you never would as a normal visitor or tourist.

Virtue lies in the middle ground.

If you want to be rich watch what rich people do everyday and do it. And watch what poor people do and don't do it.

life is just high school all over again, only with bigger bills to pay.

If you suppress laboratories, physical science will be stricken with barrenness and death.

There are two sides of me, the bachata/tropical Latin side and the English pop as well. They're both equally important, so I'll always make sure to keep both roots in my music.

Architects are the new comedians.
