There's a big advantage in people underestimating you.
A lot of people don't realize the skills and talent that I have.
Compared to what we ought to be, we are half awake.
I grew up weird - very sensitive and highly inhibited. I felt like I was born in the wrong time zone to the wrong people at the wrong place.
Problems are the outward signs of unused inner possibilities.
The factory model of education is a gargantuan bureaucracy. Some kids are good fits - I wasn't. The system gives you bad grades and tells you you're stupid. You don't think, 'If this kid's not a good fit, it could be the system's fault.'
Often I choose characters who express not my best self, but the sides of me I haven't developed or haven't expressed.
Greatly talented performers don't know - often spectacularly - what's best for them, don't know what their talents really are, and don't know what's just plain wrong for them.
Learning too soon our limitations, we never learn our powers.
Even the most abject have a sense of superiority based on powerful though undefined merits.
I have so much in me that people don't even know, and I can't wait to offer it to them.
We all have possibilities we don't know about. We can do things we don't even dream we can do.
I have a whole other side that has yet to be seen on screen.
What everybody has seen from me is very little compared to what I'm capable of doing.
The buried talent is the sunken rock on which most lives strike and founder.
My whole life people underrated me.
People don't realize a lot of things about me. A lot of things, they don't know.
I have never truly applied myself. Lots of things have come too easily to me and at too high a level.
The so-called incorrigibles were not the way people said they were. I found a lot of character in some of these people.
There was a lot of me trying to be a 'fixer.' I was that kind of guy. I'd meet someone who had 'so much potential' that needed 'help.' I think that was kind of my curse for a long time.
Most of us have two lives: the life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance.
A lot of my characters are people who are, in essence, lying to themselves. They present one thing, when in reality they're another thing. Maybe they're not as tough or as cool as they want to be.
Making people fear the expression of their own power is a very effective way of disempowering them. It is not just those who feel the frustration of being silenced: it also encompasses every person who has no idea of their own power to realise their visions because they have not seen this in action in their communities.
