“(The movie) is the story of my life, but it’s not about me. It’s about anybody who ever dreamed big and had someone tell them, ‘No, you can’t do it.’ You can.”

If you have a dream, you’ve got to protect it.

The secret to success: find something you love to do so much, you can’t wait for the sun to rise to do it all over again.

There was a language specific to all things. The ability to learn another language in one arena, whether it was music, medicine, or finance, could be used to accelerate learning and other arenas, too.

You can only depend on yourself. The cavalry aint coming.

This part of my life, this little part, is called happiness.

I just wanted to make a million dollars. But I couldn’t sing and I couldn’t play ball, so I said to my mother, ‘How am I going to make a million dollars?’ And she said to me, ‘Son, if you believe you can do it, you will.’

It’s okay to fail; it’s not okay to quit.

Then again, what seems like nothing in the eyes of the world, when properly valued and put to use, can be among the greatest riches.

Walk that walk and go forward all the time. Don’t just talk that talk, walk it and go forward. Also, the walk didn’t have to be long strides; baby steps counted too. Go forward.

If you want something, go get it. Period.

Claim ownership of your dreams.

Ready or not, Tell yourself to jump.

I hold one thing dearer than all else: my commitment to my son.

Don’t ever let someone tell you you can’t do something.

It can be done, but you have to make it happen.

No one can guarantee success of a film.

I used to enjoy the spotlight. If I had a day off from filming, I didn’t know what to do.

I am now in a position to choose roles. I did not have so many offers before ‘Queen,’ but now things have changed a lot.

I would like to make a film to tell children “it’s good to be alive”.

I want to make films that cater to the world audiences.

I can be 100 years old but I will always be proud to say I was in Harry Potter.

What people see is just your career graph and the films you do. But that’s a very small aspect of my life.
