“Artists die twice. First creatively. Then physically. The second one is the easiest.”

Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Now if you know what you’re worth. Then go out and get what you’re worth.

I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat.

I realized, the older I get, the more difficult life becomes. It’s not easier, it’s more difficult.

It would be great to be able to pass on to someone all of the successes, the failures, and the knowledge that one has had. To help someone, avoid all the fire, pain and anxiety would be wonderful.

Everybody has anger or regret in them one way or another. They all try different things to get it out. Some people go to psychiatrists. Some paint pictures. Some people talk it out.

I’m perceived to be this solitary character, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Movies are the work of a collective conscious. It takes 500-800 people on a movie to complete a vision.

I was an ambitious child and I tended to be scatterbrained. If I was at school and saw a bird outside the window I wanted to follow it. I was adventurous.

I thought I had reached a point in life where everything would be smooth. But it is not. It just gets more jagged and pitted and filled with turns that take you into the dark recesses of your mind. It never seems to get easy.

Some actors are brilliant character guys. They submerge.

Study people’s success stories hard. Study their failures even harder.

Remember the mind is your best muscle, BIG ARMS can move rocks, but BIG WORDS can move mountains. Ride the brain train for success.

At the very end, the one person who Rambo should kill, he doesn’t kill. He lets it live. Because you can’t kill that kind of hypocritical bureaucracy. It goes on forever.

Time is truly the great enemy. It’s not the great healer, it’s the great stealer.

Testosterone to me is so important for a sense of well-being when you get older.

I see myself as a true modernist. Even when I do a traditional gown, I give it a modern twist. I go to the past for research. I need to know what came before so I can break the rules.

I take cabs if I need to get somewhere or I take car service. I don’t drive, I wouldn’t mind riding a bike… People think that because you become an entertainer you gotta have this rock star thug image. I’m an artist, man. I’m going to live like an artist.

The greatest thing an actor can experience is discovery. The greatest thing an artist can walk away with is to learn something about themselves and the world and this was one of those.

Fashion to me has become very disposable; I wanted to get back to craft, to clothes that could last.

When I design a wedding dress with a bustle, it has to be one the bride can dance in. I love the idea that something is practical and still looks great.

When I put that first Vine out, I was just doing it for fun; there was no wanting to become an artist.
