“Acting runs through my blood. There is some sort of creative desire to express myself and I would need that outlet. Otherwise I would be a nightmare to live with.”

I just have a desire not to judge and view things compassionately.

Now my ability to notice things and respond to things and be here is far more profound. With that comes happiness, with it comes sadness, but it’s a beautiful life.

I suppose expectations are strange and I shy away from them. And the whole point of being an actor is to connect.

Part of our job as human beings is to share our knowledge and share the things we’ve learned. So we can either save people from making the same mistakes, or give them hope.

Breathe and don’t try to be perfect.

I refuse to let what happened to me make me bitter.

An actor who’s a control freak, that doesn’t work. We have to be malleable. We cannot come in and try to control or dominate.

That goes against what I believe morally. That’s adultery, and if I’m accused of that, no, that’s not right. I have two kids who see that and remember that and judge me. It didn’t happen, and it’s not to be reported that way.

Forget the past. You can never predict what the future is going to be. Live for the moment.

There’s something to be said for going back to a simple form of living-nature and family. There’s something very there’s safety in that.

If I fall over and make mistakes, I’ll pick myself back up and hope for the best and try to conduct myself with as much authenticity and moral code.

No matter how much you’re going to be criticized or no matter how big of a risk it is, the boldness is the thing that helps you.

I jump out of planes, I could be covered in cockroaches, I do all sorts of things, but I just don’t like the feel of butterflies’ bodies.

I’ll put it out there: I love getting hugs.

I’m now so much more capable of receiving love and giving it in a far different way.

Violence against women is an appalling human rights violation. But it is not inevitable. We can put a stop to this.

The blood of man should never be shed but to redeem the blood of man. It is well shed for our family, for our friends, for our God, for our country, for our kind. The rest is vanity; the rest is crime.

I don’t believe anyone who says they don’t care what people say about them. Of course they bloody well do.

Don’t be buffaloed by experts and elites. Experts often possess more data than judgment. Elites can become so inbred that they produce hemophiliacs who bleed to death as soon as they are nicked by the real world.

Before I found an outlet through sex and blood.

Grief is a love preservative. My heart is a jar. My blood is the brine. The memory of you I steal inside.

I dreamt of you when our souls bled together and now we are eternal.

She’s always the heart to my soul and I am the blood to her being.

Bitter sweet rose her thorns pierce every bone, but her lustful petals fall like bandaids for bleeding sores.
