A lot of actors and actresses pull from past experiences.

I follow Elle Fanning's career. I really like to follow actors who are a similar age to me. Just to see what they're up to.

I've never really done acting before, 'cause dancing was my first love. And then, I sort of fell into it from a talent competition and never really looked back.

When I first watched 'Coraline,' I thought, 'If that ever got adapted...' If it was done by real actors, I think that would be a really fun thing to do, just because it's a kind of whole new universe.

I grew up in the east side of Detroit in an area where there was very little, except for a lot of scarcity, poverty and hunger. I never woke up saying, 'I'm an orphan again today, isn't this terrible? Poor me.'

My goal wasn't to make a ton of money. It was to build good computers.

We sometime didn't get enough to buy oats for our horses. Most banks had very little money in them.

No holiday, no job, no amount of money, not even my own security can mean more to me than my love for God.
