| Quotes: |
I don't think I could live with myself if I stopped trying.
<br />
<hr>
I really want to keep at it until I find out what I'm capable of.
<br />
<hr>
Most of the auditions I went on, I passed up the projects because I just wasn't interested. When I read A Knight's Tale, that was that. I knew I wanted to do this movie.
<br />
<hr>
Someone pays me a hundred bucks every Tuesday to DJ. I don't think I'll ever give that up.
<br />
<hr>
But I'm trying not to be cynical - I don't want to be one of those people who has a cool opportunity and blows it. It's really amazing what's happening to me. |
