"Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace in death."

"The more difficult the victory, the greater the happiness in winning."

"I'm part of a legend. I gave what I had to give at the right time and place for my own personal gratification. I look at my resume at this point and it reminds me of how well I've done in the few years I've done it. What I'm working on in my career is longevity and not instant success. I haven't particularly found the leading man image that I have yet to give, but I certainly explored certain aspects of him. Hopefully, I'll look in the mirror someday and he'll be there." (IMDB)
