My dear boy, looking like a thing has little to do with being a thing. Be the thing first, and you will grow to resemble it.
Changing your mind is probably one of the most beautiful things people can do. And I've changed my mind about a lot of things over the years.

I would love to be in 'Downton Abbey.' That's the thing I thing many people would have a good laugh with me saying anything like that. I feel like that's the next phase of my career. To reprove to everyone that I can do things besides the crazy chara...
