Listen, smile, agree, then do whatever you were going to do anyway.
I know very little about acting. I’m just an incredibly gifted faker.
It’s hard to get out of the barrel. It’s slippery around the edges and people are happy to see you fall back in.
People never change because they are under threat or under duress. Never. They change because they see something that makes their life seem valuable enough to start moving toward a life worth living.
I don’t need an Iron Man suit. I’m already a weapon of mass seduction.

Mediocrity is my biggest fear. I’m not afraid of total failure because I don’t think that will happen. I’m not afraid of success because that beats the hell out of failure. It’s being in the middle that scares me.
At the end of the day, anything I think I’m sacrificing I’m just giving up because it makes me feel better.

You have to let go of the things that are darling to you. You have to take the focus off yourself and put it on the shape of the scene and the intention of what everyone else needs.

If I were a lawyer, I’d be my own best client.
I have a sense of destiny that you are led to the things you are supposed to do.
