A hero knows it takes hard work and a long time to get published a fool thinks it should happen immediately, because he thinks heÕs a hero already.

I'm a really anxious person, so I tend not to keep secrets. I tend not to even want to hear them. It's too nerve-wracking for me to try and keep things from people.

The sad thing is that often when you expose your secrets and become more honest with yourself, you find the reaction from the outside world is more complicated than the intense guilt you yourself have inflicted.

I certainly very much enjoy acting, but I am open to anything really. I think it's important when you have those moments in life when you are not attached to something, and you are not quite sure what the next phase of your journey is going to look like, that you don't pigeon-hole yourself.

Secrets are always never as well kept as people think they are. More often than not when you reveal something, especially the bigger it is, people always had some inkling, or they're like, Well, yeah, of course.

Secrets are inherently selfish. The longer you keep them, the harder it is to put yourself in other people's shoes about them and the more irrational your thinking surrounding it becomes.

[Rumors are a] vehicle for anxieties and aspirations that may not be openly expressed.

I certainly am not afraid of hard work. Hard work is only hard if you are not passionate about what you are doing.

No matter how old you are, if you're just not an empathetic person, it's a lot easier to concentrate solely on something that is injuring another person to even some score. Hopefully as people grow older, their ability to empathize deepens.

It's always fun to try something new, and to play a new character, and it's fun to play another period.

As your life goes on you should gain a deeper understanding of the world and the people moving through it but that might be asking too much.

Secrets can be poisonous.
