I used to love stage above all, but that was when I was a single man. As I get older, the time commitment gets harder for theatre.

I think about all the people who have created something that lives after them - works of art, plays, music, films, literature, poetry that will be read, seen, performed, and heard for the rest of time. If I could do something that lives after me, then I think I will have had a life well led.

It's hard to remain patient when it seems so debilitating to do so. The balance comes with staying ambitious while being patient.

Anger and desire for revenge can be a great motivating force. It's either that or you allow it to affect your confidence and that can be crippling.

A lot of people just capitulate and say, Well, that's just the way things are. I think that can be deadly for creative people.
