They say the two most important days in a person’s life were the day you were born and the day you discover why you were born.

I’ve always just simply seen myself as an actor. And I believe that it serves me well to just think in terms of my craft. If hypothetically, I saw myself only as a sex symbol, or as some other limited stereotype, I think I would feel like a complete failure.

Believe People The End Of The Day
Self-deprecation is not an answer to keeping one’s balance. I think that it’s very damaging.
