You should never be afraid to be yourself, under any circumstances. The genre of cool is fleeting. What's cool today will not be cool a year from now. If you're yourself, you'll be at peace with yourself.

Sometimes, when you're not getting a whole lot of attention, you're actually walking the right path.

You need fans in high places, I always tell people. I don't care how talented you are.

A lot of people don't know me. I was a man in a suit for many years, but it's really gonna work to my advantage and I've always known that. I'm turning 30 in a month... that's something for me to look at. Generally when people see me and greet me, they're kind of astonished at what I really am. It's all about playing character and really becoming somebody else. I've always said, "Acting is nothing more than paid schizophrenia if you're doing it right.".

It's very important that your parents have careers of their own. When the kid becomes the breadwinner of the household, that's when you have problems.
