“You have to be kind to people. Treat them decently. There’s no excuse for not.”

“No matter what you’re doing, if you’re trying to make a movie, you need to be working with people that are really good and who make you better.”

I find forgiveness to be really healthy.

All I do, really, is go to work and try to be professional, be on time and be prepared.

The trap for an actor is that you become too successful at what you're trying to do, and you can find yourself stuck there.

I'm trying to make people feel welcome and feel valued.

"As an actor, you can steer a scene in another direction by playing it a little differently. And honestly? I like being an actor, and I want to keep having a career."

"When I look up at the screen and see myself I always have to laugh. Not because I think I'm doing a horrible job, quite the contrary, I just feel it's so surreal to feel like one person can entertain so many at one time."

“But when I felt like I had something to prove? Then I got up early every morning and worked all day long. I didn’t know if I had any more talent than anyone else directing, but I knew I could work hard at it, and so I did.”

I'm human, just like anybody else.

It doesn't matter how you get knocked down in life, because that's going to happen. All that matters is that you gotta get up.
