I try to update my arsenal constantly. Learning different martial arts since childhood. To understand what's out there. To really be in tune.
Also, the more you're not focused on showbiz and instead focused on life, learning about other people, and keeping your eyes open and trying to be aware of the world.
When I was a kid it was much more difficult. You're trying to understand what the director wants. It's a learning process. Now, you go in and it's more of a collaboration.
Sometimes I'll come up with a lick that I really love, and I'll try to put the right words to it for years. Suddenly something comes to me that works just right.
I try to read as much as I can - all the time, really. And I absolutely love going to the cinema, especially during the day.
I love old-fashioned manners, as long as it's not forced. I can tell when it's natural or when someone is just trying to impress me.
I just try to love and serve everyone, and bring everyone water, and lend an ear; that's what Jesus said to do.
China was the first time I truly felt like an outsider. I fell in love with the process of trying to become intimate with the culture.
I love to bake. I like to bake with wheat and try not to eat sugar, so I use applesauce instead, which probably sounds really gross.
I always felt a love for music, but I never got my nerve up enough to try a musical instrument in school.
I love to write. I write everything across the board - kids' stories and novels and scripts. I actually would like to give that a go; I'd like to try to be a writer.
I love the creative process, of getting to create your own show or your own movie, whatever it is you want to do, and have the resources to try and make that happen.
Try not to be the kind of friend who only shows up when things are going well in other people's lives
Wishing for something without tirelessly working for it, is like trying to drive a car that has no fuel in it.
Failure to a positively programmed mind is nothing but an opportunity to carefully try again with a more strategic approach.
In the end, success will surely be the final outcome. But until then, try not to count yourself out of the race.
We all fail in some of our endeavors, but unfortunately, some of us tend not to see the reason to try again.
I try to keep myself as sane and as grounded as possible by surrounding myself with normal people, such as all the friends that I've had from when I was little.
At first, I was just trying to sound like DOOM and Eminem, and then I dug out my own voice, I guess.
I can't tell you the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.
As I've got older, and since I cut all my hair off, I've felt a bit more liberated about trying different things out.
