You want to play another kind of character in another genre and it's been something I've been trying to do if I can in the career so far and it's something I hope to continue because it's interesting to me and you get to do different things as an actor.

The media tried to destroy my parents and has taken things completely out of context but there's not a whole lot you can do in terms of fighting back. You have to hope that it passes which it always does. But they have to be careful. They didn't necessarily sign up for this.

They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love something to do and something to hope for.

Life has changed enormously and I hope - I hope more people read good things.

We really feel happier when things look bleak. Hope is endurance. Hope is holding on and going on and trusting in the Lord.

One of the most difficult things everyone has to learn is that for your entire life you must keep fighting and adjusting if you hope to survive. No matter who you are or what your position is you must keep fighting for whatever it is you desire to achieve.

But then there are magical beautiful things in the world. There's incredible acts of kindness and bravery and in the most unlikely places and it gives you hope.

Hope founded upon a human being a man-made philosophy or any institution is always misplaced... because these things are unreliable and fleeting.

You just have to keep trying to do good work and hope that it leads to more good work. I want to look back on my career and be proud of the work and be proud that I tried everything. Yes I want to look back and know that I was terrible at a variety of things.

If you start in the pit of despair with these profane awful things even a glimmer of hope or awareness is going to occur that's much brighter coming from this dark awful beginning.
