“Basically, I think that there are some characters that you can just allow the truth of your character as a human being in your real life to come through.”

“I think in Vice and American Me I played very silent, rigid characters and people remember them.”

“I want to show how strong I am from my roots.”

“A saint is a person who gives of themself without asking for anything in return. That's how simple it is to be a saint. Try it! Try being a saint.”

“Education is the vaccine for violence.”
