And I do believe that the way to change a society, to uplift people - not just their spirit, but to uplift their society and economic base - is through education.

I came to realize I did believe in God. I couldn't conceive of a universe without someone overseeing it in a compassionate way.

Life is suffering. Life is not resistance to suffering. The point of life is to suffer. This is why we're here: We're here to suffer. I believe in a higher power that compassionately allows suffering for us as a race, to grow and mature.

Education and work are the levers to uplift a people.

Some of the most morally conscious, kindest, most compassionate people are in the entertainment industry, people who want to affect the world and make it a better place through telling human, heartfelt stories.

There's like ten minutes when it's like, 'Okay, wait, who is this guy again?' And then, you know, I just put on the calculator watch and the glasses, and just be all, you know, inappropriate. And then it just works out fine.
