“Everywhere you go you hear things that are untrue. You’ve just got to learn that if I don’t say it, physically out of my mouth, on camera, it’s not true.”

People are put into your life for seasons, for different reasons, and to teach you lessons.

Speaking of friends, the best ones always have your back.

I’m going to hang out with people, and I’m going to explore myself, and I’m okay with that.

If there never was a night or day and memories could fade away, then we’d be nothing left but the dreams we made.

I love my mom more than anyone could ever know.

I won’t apologize for who I am.

Trust yourselves. Love and be loved.

Sometimes when you’re in love, there are things you feel that you can’t really explain. It doesn’t really make sense. That’s how I feel when i’m in love

A perfect date is probably something somewhere where you can kind of communicate and talk to the person.

I don’t actually like dates. I get awkward as I never know what to do.

It’s important just to be yourself. And probably stay out of trouble.

There’s an amount of love that can never – no matter what – be taken away or torn apart, no matter the situation. There are certain people who you will always, always love.

Dancing allows me to go away and not have to think of what I’m doing next.

Hollywood life is never true. Ever.

Being cool, having a ‘cool’ energy is just not attractive to me.

There’s a difference between a want and a need. Some nights I just want more than me.

I am not going to be dictated to by the size of the camera. I use everything from an 8 x 10 to a 35-mm. But I don’t use these modern cameras which break down all the time !

We’ve spent now about 150 years trying to convince ourselves that photographs are reliable evidence, some unimpeachable slice of the real world. That was a myth from the very beginning.

And I don’t like having my picture taken. I’m almost like an old African in that sense. I think it steals a bit of the soul.

When I got cast in ‘Rocky IV,’ I had never seen a film camera before. And here I was in this boxing movie.

All the films are hits before you turn the camera on. It’s only in the execution that they fail. I’ve been less than happy with the way a couple of films were edited, but it’s a director’s prerogative and you gotta go with it.

I treat the camera like a person – I gaze into it. Photos are a flat thing, and you need to put life into them.

I think a lot of people like hidden-camera shows where they think they’re spying on somebody who doesn’t know they’re looking at them. And nobody takes it seriously – you either enjoy it and get a laugh out of the reactions or not.

In the theater, while you recognized that you were looking at a house, it was a house in quotation marks. On screen, the quotation marks tend to be blotted out by the camera.
