“Its not who you love. Its how.”

I just feel like sometimes I’m a force to be dealt with. My talents are sometimes overused and also sometimes underused. It’s not easy being me.

Online gambling is very seductive and very illusory. It can seem like a really good idea. It can seem like what people told you to work hard and get ahead, but when someone shows you something and it’s too good to be true, it probably is.

No matter how much you change, you still got to pay the price for the things you’ve done.

I dyed my hair for photo tests… I kept it because when am I ever going to be blond again?

I grew up in a home environment where I wasn’t getting esteem for anything I did.

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 have a good instinct for what’s real and what’s not. I don’t have to second-guess myself.

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 hate the whole reluctant sex-symbol thing. It’s such bull. You see these dudes greased up, in their underwear, talking about how they don’t want to be a sex symbol.

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

I try new things and give myself permission to fail and experiment because only that way can you get really successful.

I really think that everybody would like to be an actor. Why wouldn’t they? It’s great work if you can get it. The one thing that prevents most people from saying, ‘I’m just gonna go to Hollywood!’ is that it seems unrealistic.

A sale is made on every call you make. Either you sell the client some stock or he sells you a reason he can’t. Either way a sale is made, the only question is: Who is gonna close?

I feel things more deeply anything to do with kids. It just makes a big difference in my life Having a child is like taking the deepest core vulnerable aspect of myself, reaching in and taking it outside of my body.

I don’t go back and look at the monitor between every take; I wait until I feel like we finally got it right: “Let me stop and look at that last one on the monitor.”

There’s something really great and romantic about being poor and sleeping on couches.

Recognizing how totally ignorant you are is the only honest way to deal with people who’ve been through something traumatic.

I have been very fortunate in that I’m not doing all network shows or all cable shows, television has really become a year-round process in the way that it’s made.

We are each the authors of our own lives, Emma. We live in what we have created. There is no way to shift the blame and no one else to accept the accolades.

When we worry we are saying, ‘I know the way my life is supposed to go, and God’s not getting it right’.

A mode of being that the way of life about me had said could not be, must not be, and upon which the penalty of death had been placed.

The only way we can ever get through to the truth is by finding out what we are not. We do that by looking, by observation.

I worked with someone else’s photos; I cropped them in whatever way I wanted and put words on top of them. I knew how to do it with my eyes closed. Why couldn’t that be my art?

Men deal with life as children with their play, Who first misuse, then cast their toys away.
