  1. I don't pride myself on being self-educated because I don't like to brag about the fact that I'm a high school dropout.

    25 April 2006 · San Francisco Chronicle, p, Own words

  2. The growing pains of … being an actor, that was a little frustrating at times because you feel like you have great capacity to do many things.

    24 June 2005 · The Arizona Republic, p, Own words

  3. I don't like movies where everything happens fast. I like the buildup, the obstacles, the mystery.
