I'm mortified to be on the stage, but then again, it's the only place where I'm happy.

We are happier in many ways when we are old than when we were young. The young sow wild oats. The old grow sage.

My focus is my art, and that's what I love to do. I have to be really passionate in order to do something. I've turned down many things that I just didn't believe in.

You have to be burning with "an idea, or a problem, or a wrong that you want to right." If you're not passionate enough from the start, you'll never stick it out.

Do something you're very passionate about, and don't try to chase what is kind of the "hot passion" of the day.

Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do.
