“Certain things just happen and it’s undeniable, you just go that way. But I don’t have a specific path I’m following, I’m just playing it by ear.”

You always have to remember that bullies want to bring you down because you have something that they admire.

In sixth grade, my basketball team made it to the league championships. In double overtime, with three seconds left.

Also, when you get made fun of-when people point out your weaknesses, it’s an opportunity for you to rise above.

I love action-adventure-type films – mythical adventures like ‘Lord of the Rings’ or superhero films like ‘Batman.’

Fame is probably the most unadorable thing about acting.

I’ve always loved dogs. I grew up with them and I love working with them. They’re really fun.

I would sit down with a guitar and write 11 or 12 good songs for an album and that is gonna take a long time.

When you’re young everything feels like the end of the world, but its not; its just the beginning.

It’s the moms who are overaggressive. A lot of times their daughters are very sweet and cordial, and the moms tend to grab you and scream and want to kiss you.

The more attention you give to the paparazzi, the more it just, like, validates everything . . .

I’m more of a cringer at first and when it is years down the road and out of my way, I can actually appreciate it somehow.

It’s great when you meet a girl and three hours later you’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, we’ve been talking for three hours, what happened to the time?’

From day one, I got addicted to being on stage and getting the applause and laughter.

To always be respectful and polite to them, and to always lead with your heart.

You have to put in the work, you can never be satisfied, never take it for granted.

I’m very specific about scripts that I like. I don’t have a master plan or, like, a game plan. I don’t have a chart that I’m following or anything like that. I’m very much playing it by ear.

People might not get all they work for in this world, but they must certainly work for all they get.

A certain darkness is needed to see the stars.

The more we try to live in the world of words, the more we feel isolated and alone, the more all the joy and liveliness of things is exchanged for mere certainty and security.

When a young man complains that a young lady has no heart, it’s pretty certain that she has his.

As we gain knowledge, we do not become more certain, we become certain of more.

Great things are not something accidental, but must certainly be willed.

If I’ve learned anything, it’s really just to stop trying to find answers and certainties.

Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.
