The future depends entirely on what each of us does every day; a movement is only people moving.

'Masaan' was a life-changing experience.

At first, I ain't gon' lie, I used to be a little nervous about what people were gon' think about my music, but once I let that go, then everything started happening.

When people ask me a personal question, I answer it in a personal way. I can only speak from the footsteps and the shoes that I've walked in.

Songwriting really kicked in with the guitar. I was going through a lot as a kid. There had been a lot of transitions in my family. So it just became a total therapy, like most artists.

Growing up in Denver, I'm sure it started with loving the Colorado mountains.

You can't go forward and backwards at the same time.

It was really important for me to understand that I needed to provide for myself, and I needed to become a provider for my own family, too.

The interesting thing for me is, if I met Michael Peterson in person, I'd want him to let himself off the hook just a little bit.

Comedy or villain, the role does not matter as long as it is challenging.

You must welcome change as the rule but not as your ruler.

I didn't start drama school until I was 20, and I don't think I would have gotten nearly as much out of it had I gone when I was 18. I didn't show up there to please anyone. After I was accepted, I...

My future's about trying to be a better man.

Mom and Dad sent us to a bilingual school, so we had half the lessons in English and half in French. But I remember being hugely lost.

Let me alone, and go in search of someone else.

I've been in Hamburg for about ten years and I just feel at home.

Theatre was my first love. I can't take the theatre out of me. And I wouldn't want to. To me, it's home.

Having a sweet, wide-eyed, awkward character is more charming and allows for more range. If you come from anger, you're going to reach a ceiling very quickly.

I was being very bad because I didn't know how to express myself. Music gave me an outlet to express myself and channel that anger.

If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded.

I've come to learn that what really matters is the relationship, the quality of the relationship.

I always believed in God and Christ, but I was in rebellion - trying to make my relationship with God fit into my life instead of making my life fit in with him. I was stubborn.

I have to have a daily, vibrant relationship with Jesus in order to survive that process toward healing.

To drive a car in rural America is freedom. Before I had a car, I'd never seen a rock and roll show, I'd never seen a comic or a show.

Even youngish men can acquire wisdom as time goes by.

I knew that I had it tough compared to children around me. But I felt like I needed it. I think I had the wisdom as a child to know that it would help me later on.

I came from a broken home, so my mom was a major influence in my life.

My mom, Nellie, got me a rosary at church. I don't use it to pray before a competition. I'll just pray normally to myself, but I have it there in case.

The rare few, who, early in life have rid themselves of the friendship of the many.

Nobody would know it to look at me, but the movies I liked as a kid were musicals - 'All That Jazz,' 'Hair,' 'Fame,' 'Annie,' all that stuff - that's where my little youthful imagination was.
