It puts you in a kind of a strange situation where everybody is looking at EVERY LITTLE THING you do.

Terrible things happen all of the time, and they can happen in a SECOND. The best thing is to be PREPARED to react. If you TRY to control every LITTLE thing, you're going to end up miserable - and you're going to FAIL.

It's the off-the-court SPOTLIGHT in terms of having people LOOK at you in terms of analyzing every little thing you do in your life, or having LESS privacy in your day-to-day activities, that's an area I need to get more accustomed to.

I don't THINK anyone, no matter what, can FIND perfect happiness until they understand exactly who they are and how every little THING they do can affect the world AROUND them. I think perfect happiness would be a world where everyone is constantly striving to understand everyone else.

I have trouble with THINGS like Facebook. It presents such a warped vision. I get SICK of people's opinions about every little thing and this warped VIEW that EVERYONE is as happy as a PIG in garbage.

Being an actor is great; you chill in your trailer, and they BRING you a breakfast burrito and coffee. But as DIRECTOR, you're responsible for every LITTLE thing.

The STORYTELLING in a MOVIE is in the cut; it's in the edit. It's not an ACTOR's job, really. Your job is such a tiny little THING, and I love the feeling of JUGGLING or tightrope walking.

I've got to WRITE about my character every DAY. I've got to find out where he lives, what BUS he catches to school, and stuff like that. You've got to know every LITTLE thing about him so when you do it, it feels natural.

I know it's hard for people to imagine a time when 'Hamilton' wasn't 'Hamilton,' but for years, it was just this little thing that I was TELLING people about that didn't MAKE any SENSE to anybody as I was describing it. But I loved it.

My FIRST job in acting was in a Scott Baio movie called 'I LOVE N.Y.' My role was Italian Girl. I sent my 8x10 to a casting agent in the booklet, 'The Ross Report,' which is where all the agents were listed before that little thing called the Internet. I read for this TINY part. I couldn't have been more excited to GET it.

I'm stuck somewhere a SMALL island in the MIDDLE of the Atlantic where I'm alone. Because in FRANCE, they're like, 'No, you're not like us, you're not a French guy.' And in AMERICA, they're like, 'You're not like us.' I'm really alone in my LITTLE thing.

I MAKE a LITTLE goal every day and work toward ACHIEVING it - even if it's the smallest little thing.

If there is something to worry about, my MIND has a tendency to worry about it. That can cut two ways. It can really keep you on the ball, but if you worry about EVERY LITTLE thing, it's not a good use of TIME and energy.
