You promote your films; it's part of your job. You do the magazine covers and stuff, and then I try to live a really normal life. I definitely don't try to make it into any more craziness than it is.

At the time, when you're being dissected and judged it's pretty brutal, but in hindsight it's great and - it sounds cliched - you do come out the other side better and stronger.

I hold theatre acting in such high esteem that it scares me.

I can't deal with someone flashy. That's so not me.

I keep everything that's private private.

You have to have confidence. You can't be someone who's so insecure that she's a basket case.

I almost envy people who say whatever they want.

It's so different when you change your hair color, you're treated so differently. It's a very funny experience. It's fun, I love changing up my hair.

That's the funniest thing about portraying certain things on screen, sitting next to your parents and they get to see this glimpse of me kissing another guy.

It's sort of interesting how, when you get older, things that were once so important sort of fall away.

I like somebody who's not so crazy but likes to have a good time... and who is thoughtful and kind and easy to laugh with. Somebody you can just be yourself with one hundred and fifty percent.

My mind is my canvas

If you want a work well done select a busy man: the other kind has no time.

There is a restlessness within us that cannot be satisfied until we rest fully in God.

For in my tradition, as a Jew, I believe that whatever we receive we must share.

I'm a ninja! I like swords and knives and stuff like that.

There are plenty of people to whom the crucial problem of their lives never get presented in terms that they can understand.

One thing that feeds into the way you experience the social world is your mood - and one thing that affects your mood is the weather.

Happiness is spiritual, born of truth and love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it.

I've had lots of things that didn't work out, like TV shows. You learn a lot through mistakes - I learned that you have to be the captain of your ship. Actually, I own my ship.

Where evil habits are once settled, they are more easily broken than mended.
