I've always said, 'I don't want to be irrelevant.'

People accuse me of being arrogant all the time. I'm not arrogant, I'm focused.

People can say or think whatever they want... so in my reality, it's kind of irrelevant. I'm always the kind of person that does the right thing and keeps my side of the street clean.

I'm trying to take all the media attention with a grain of salt. It is nice, but you are never as great as people say you are. And you're never as bad as others say you are.

When people say they take hits and flops in their stride, I personally feel that they are just lying. Of course, I'm upset when my movies flop. I take it very personally.

If you are constantly making judgments based on superficial affiliations, your world gets to be pretty small.

I don't want to carry the burden of a flop. I don't fall into that trap.

Nobody's just arrogant. I've met people who are embattled and dismissive, but when you get to know them, you find that they're vulnerable - that that hauteur or standoffishiness is because they're pedaling furiously underneath.

I'm an enemy of exposition. I feel there's no need to overstate.

No one tells you what to do if you completely flop at the beginning of a performance.
