I don't get recognised that much in the street.

Before my son was born, I use to tell people that I was looking forward to no longer being the star of my own movie; then Harry came along, and it was like, 'Whoa, I'm really not!'

I'm close to both my parents and very proud of what they've achieved.

People tell me that Hollywood loves new faces, but I don't know. They're probably just being nice.

Growing up I did commercials and things like that, but nothing serious. As I got older, my family is really hardcore into academics. They weren't wanting to necessarily support an acting career; it's a really fickle business, and it can be difficult and unstable. They were rooting for education and the whole nine yards.

The strength of the nation ultimately depends upon the strength of family and community.

It was a very hard life. As I got older, the family was depending very much on me. My two older brothers got married, so they had their own families depending on them. I had seven people relying on me, so I worked in a grocery store.

My mother wanted me to be a professor, because I have several people in my family who are professors at university.
