You have a talent that comes from inside you, from your heart, not your fingers. What you have can’t ever go away. It’s what other people only dream about. You’re an artist.

I've done a number of films. I've been around this. I think the biggest challenge is just getting the script right, the way that you want the script to be. It's really about capturing the complexity of emotions and creating the kind of characters that people will want to watch every week.
nature men thinking
It is life, I think, to watch the water. A man can learn so many things.
life notebook stay-strong
You can't live your life for other people. You've got to do what's right for you, even if it hurts some people you love.
love i-miss-you missing-you
The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected.
eye knowing perfect
I held her close to me with my eyes closed, wonering if anything in my life had ever been this perfect and knowing at the same time that it hadn't. I was in love, and the feeling was even more wonderful than I ever imagined it could be.
