“Many's the audition I waltzed into unprepared and wondered why I didn't get it. I learned the hard way.”

“Work hard, play hard, dream big, love loads, laugh as much as you can, and give back.”

“One day I got an invite to help the Christina Noble Foundation, and by this stage, I'd already been talking about her for 10 years. I said 'yes' right away, and that was the first time I met her.”

“We believe in developing players and improving players on a daily basis. That would be the opposite of giving someone a 10-game audition.”

“I can go to my premiere at the Chinese Theatre, and everyone will know me, and everyone will cater to me. And then I'll go to an audition and get rejected left, right and centre. They don't watch my videos, and they don't really know who I am. It is like starting from scratch when it comes to traditional Hollywood.”

“I was working maybe four different jobs just to make ends meet. I was really broke. I could barely pay rent. I didn't have a car. I was riding my bike from one job to another and then to audition in between.”
