"You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world, but you do have some say in who hurts you."

Literature is the most powerful form of empathy.

What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals. At your funeral people will not recall what you did； they will only remember how you made them feel.

Take everything you like seriously, except yourselves.

"Acting is not about being someone different. It's finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there."

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.
