[when asked about acting] I love acting. Although sometimes it can be a,painful process. To really get in touch with the character, find out,who they are as a person and become that person is not always easy.
Be exceptional. No exceptions.
[when asked about life] I think of life as energy. One huge piece of,energy among a countless number of other pieces. This life, everyone,and every living thing in it has an energy, good or bad, that,contributes to make a whole. The flesh is weak, and it will expire, but,energy has always been, will always be and can never be extinguished.
So put good energy out there. It will make the circle and come back to,you ten times stronger.
