You’ve got to hang on to who you are, what you are. Don’t let anyone take it from you.

I’ve played killers, crazies, and really bad people.

I feel bad about a lot of the movies I see that teach kids that if they do bad, they’ll win.

You put yourself on the line as a performer, and when people reject you, it’s a personal rejection.

I can meet any producer in Hollywood and look them in the eye, knowing I didn’t sleep with them, or do drugs with them.

Hollywood has an obligation to watch what they put out there. Kids do imitate what they see – good or bad.

Everything is a rejection of you, not your product, or your script, or a cosmetic. It’s you.

You have to work in this business on your own terms. Don’t sell out for money, fame, or notoriety.

Hollywood people want to build you up and make you famous only to knock you off you’re the pedestal they built for you.

The highest grossing films have great, moral messages – not dirty, base themes, so we’re trying to get producers to make more of the uplifting movies.
