When you have to cope with a lot of problems, you're either going to sink or you're going to swim

 I'm passionate about learning. I'm passionate about life I disagree with people who think you learn more from getting beat up than you do from winning

 I love what I do. I take tremendous pleasure in what I do. And I can not do some thing midway, 3-quarters, 9-tenths. If I'm going to do some thing, I go all the way

 The exciting part of acting, I don't know how else to explain it, are those moments when you surprise yourself

   Every single time I start to do a picture, without fail, I feel as if I don't know what I'm doing

 Do I make mistakes? Yeah. You know, I'm human. I don't know what you're talking about; I'm not like perfect.

 Perseverance, determination, commitment, and courage—those things are real. The desire for respect is real.
