Personal Quotes

The worst thing is to get involved with people who aren’t passionate about what they’re doing.

I think on some level, you do your best things when you’re a little off-balance, a little scared. You’ve got to work from mystery, from wonder, from not knowing.

You have to lose yourself to find yourself.

I never act. I simply bring out the real animal that’s in me.

Performing is about developing empathy, which leads us to a broader view of the world and encourages us to develop compassion; so we can comfort each other and not be so brutal with each other. 11Source: azquotes.com
