| Quotes: |
- Once I took a bus from my home in Maryland to Philadelphia to live on the streets with some musicians for a few weeks, and then my parents sent me to boarding school at Andover to shape me up.
- I’m still getting used to recognition for my work.
- I’m very low maintenance.
- A couple of months ago, I spoke, along with the great actress CCH Pounder, in a film class taught by a friend at the University of California at San Diego. We represented the two sides of acting, the new and the veteran. Pounder was held up as a classic example; I was introduced as an example of what’s not supposed to happen in Hollywood.
- Nobody should follow my example.
- Inspiration is the key to everything.
- Angelina Jolie is my celebrity crush, and I know you all understand.
- When you choose to be an actor, you are going against the odds.
