“I think it’s fine for girls to ask boys out. I actually prefer it.”

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.

You don’t know where you’re swimming to. Everything’s blurry.

I want to grow up, live my life, experience things, make movies about those experiences and by the time the audience catches up.

I can’t remember. . . . My character was sort of unconscious for it.

I’m definitely not getting married. In this business, you’re either getting married or they want you to be pregnant. I’m not getting married until I’m forty. If ever.

I was bored one day, so my dad took me to this acting school. I liked it more than having fun – I liked it for an actual job.

I’m actually listening and being obedient, life is so much better.

Silence, I discover, is something you can actually hear.

Sometimes we have to do the work even though we don’t yet see a glimmer on the horizon that it’s actually going to be possible.

The virtuous man contents himself with dreaming that which the wicked man does in actual life.

Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command.

If, then, my awareness of the past and future makes me less aware of the present, I must begin to wonder whether I am actually living in the real world.

We confuse money with actual wealth.
