“I like to set up obstacles and defeat them.”

My mom and my dad never pushed me into performing. They never prohibited me from trying anything, or being anything. They never restricted me in any way. For which I’ll be forever grateful.

I’m kind of addicted to moving.

I am not a public speaker and never will be.

I didn’t want to raise my child in Hollywood.

I’m in control of my life, not anyone in Hollywood.

There’s nothing like working with your mates – it’s the way it should be, as far as I’m concerned.

I think your personal evolution runs hand in hand with your professional evolution. Performance and the person you are kind of grow simultaneously.

My life is together, both professionally and socially.

You learn more about yourself through your child, I guess.

Our attitude in the face of life’s challenges determines our suffering or our freedom.

The challenges in our lives are there to STRENGTHEN our CONVICTIONS. They are NOT there to run us over.

I wanted to play incredibly challenging, multifaceted characters. Because we are all a puzzle.

Today I challenge our nation to commit to producing 100 percent of our electricity from renewable energy and truly clean carbon-free sources within 10 years.

With our present knowledge, we can respond to the challenge of stellar space flight solely with intellectual concepts and purely hypothetical analysis. Hardware solutions are still entirely beyond our reach and far, far away.
