I Think Every Teenager Is A Hero.

I Realized That Very Young - That A Life Where You Don't Live To Your Full Potential, Or You Don't Experiment, Or You're Afraid, Or You Hesitate, Or There Are Things You Know You Should Do But You Just Don't Get Around To Them, Is A Life That I'd Be Miserable Living, And The Only Way To Feel That I'm On The Right Path Is Just To Be True To Myself, Whatever That May Be, And That Tends To Come With Stepping Out Of Something That's Maybe Safe Or Traditional.

There Was A Time When I Was Really Going To Give Up Acting-- Right After Foxfire. I Was Trying To Find Characters With A Certain Strength And Things Going On, But I Was Always Disappointed. Wallace Was The First Thing I Did Where I Felt Their Ideas Were Better Than Mine.

I'm Able To Be Very Effective Because I'm Not A Democrat, I'm Not A Republican. So, I'm Not Tied, And I'd Never Want To Be Tied To Anything, To Some Constituency That I Would Have To Answer To.

Make Bold Choices And Make Mistakes. It's All Those Things That Add Up To The Person You Become.

We Cannot Close Ourselves Off To Information And Ignore The Fact That Millions Of People Are Out There Suffering.
