- (On getting into Acting) It was the closest thing to freedom that I felt because the world I was growing up in was so chaotic. It made me feel good and I felt love that I didn't feel anywhere else.I saw the power of imagination. This was my only escape.
- (On working with Steven Seagal) They say timing is everything and with this came the action star, Steven Seagal. His impact on the action genre was groundbreaking and unique.
