I have just gained a deeper and deeper respect for acting and the whole art of it because you're really trying to live a life and to do the best justification for it.

When you really want a role, you just put your soul in it.

Every role is the best role you've ever got. It's the only role you have.

That's the difference between working on film and working in a play. In a play, you work on it, and you live in it and develop it and make it happen.

I really think you can manifest your dreams. You can manifest your destiny. If you want something hard enough and you're willing to work for it, I think you can get it. I truly believe that.

When I act, I feel like I am a color in someone else's painting - I can be the best blue that there is, but I'm still only part of their entire picture - but, with music, when I am performing with Reserved For Rondee, I am the painter, you know?
