- Arsenio: I am consumed with the fear of failing. Reaching deep down and finding confidence has made all my dreams come true.

- Arsenio: My mother wanted me to be a lawyer and I wanted to be an Actor. So I went to school, majored in theatre, and said "Mom, I have to choose my own destiny. I want to be an actor." A couple of weeks after I graduated college I called my mother up and said "Can I borrow $200?" and she said "Why don't you act like you've got $200."

- Arsenio: I don't possess a lot of self-confidence. I'm an actor so I simply act confident every time I hit the stage.
