“Never give up on what makes you smile”

I like to set up obstacles and defeat them.

The reason that you dance and sing is to make the audience feel like they’re dancing and singing. As long as you’re having fun with it and giving it 100 percent, they’re gonna feel that.

I never want to feel like I’ve achieved my goal. It’s like Chinese farmers. They never admit that it’s a good season. They feel like they’ll be punished.

I generally don’t think most situations can be labeled as black or white.

It’s kind of a rule of thumb for me to self-doubt going into any kind of project. I always think that I shouldn’t be doing it and I don’t know how to do it and I’m going to fail and that I fooled them. I always try to find a way out.

If you are just safe about the choices you make, you don’t grow.

The Oscars are a really strange concept to me, that films and acting can be competing against each other. We’re not running the same race. It’s like we’re all doing different sports in fact.

In order not to hold a frame with someone, you have to be intimidated by them.

I thought, I need to be more cautious about my choices – it reflects on who I am.

I believe that whatever doesn’t kill you, simply makes you stronger.

I only do this because I’m having fun. The day I stop having fun, I’ll just walk away.

I have a lot of great distractions outside of acting.

I think the most common cause of insomnia is simple; its loneliness.

I feel like I’m wasting time if I repeat myself.

In my opinion, New York City police officers are brave.

I’ve never had high expectations of my work and I certainly am not going to let that plague my thoughts. I’m just going to continue to choose what feels right for me at the time and go with it.

Always let your employees come to work with a smile.

A genuine, affectionate smile is very important in our day-to-day lives.

Never regret anything that makes you smile.

We can smile, breathe, walk, and eat our meals in a way that allows us to be in touch with the abundance of happiness that is available.

A smile is often the key thing. One is paid with a smile. One is rewarded with a smile. One is brightened by a smile. And the quality of a smile can make one die.

One may smile, and smile, and be a villain.

Spend more time smiling than frowning and more time praising than criticizing.

Forgive Quickly. Kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that made you smile.
