I am not PARTICULARLY DISCIPLINED, but I am STUBBORN LIKE few.

I can be incredibly STUBBORN and I'm not SURE how that reflects in my looks. The family name is German and translates as donkey! If I think I'm RIGHT, I hope I don't seem GRUMPY.

Legs and athleticism are WORTH NOTHING without mental TOUGHNESS. You also NEED to be stubborn.

I've ALWAYS been a STUBBORN KID.

I've ALWAYS been STUBBORN.

I'm REALLY STUBBORN, and I'm OKAY with that.

I THINK it's important that kids see another kid - Coraline - who doesn't have guns, she doesn't have super-powers, she's not a super-genius.

And she does WIN.

Maybe I'm just STUBBORN about learning NEW things - I can't stand learning new PROGRAMS - but any sound I can IMAGINE, I can MAKE with SoundForge. And I'm using the old version, like 4.5 from 1999. I use it for every sound.

So, as one sees, I by no MEANS deprive my WORLD of stubborn reality, if I merely call it a world of IDEAS.

If you're GOING to be an ENTREPRENEUR, most LIKELY you're going to be TYPE A - STUBBORN.

In the beginning, I was very STUBBORN and always wanted to be just an actor. I was told by a LOT of people to try my HAND at WRITING or directing, but I always thought, 'I am an actor, and this is what I want to do.'
