Convince Quote by Joshua Jackson
“You know, at the end of the day, I can only be me. I could try to convince you that I'm Leonardo DiCaprio; I could try to convince you that I'm Edward Norton; I could even try to convince you that I'm Julia Roberts. But I'm Josh. And I don't want to spend my time projecting a false image.”
