There’s a redemptive power that making a choice has rather than feeling like you’re an effect to all the things that are happening. Make a choice.

There's no easy way around it, no matter how talented you are ... your talent is going to fail you if you're not skilled. If you don't study, if you don't work really hard and dedicate yourself to being better every single day, you 'll never be able to communicate with people your artistry the way that you want!

For me and my storytelling and the way that I embrace stories in the way that I embrace characters, I desperately needed to know that everything was okay.

When I was young, and I'd get A's, I'd get this good feeling of all the things that I could be. And then I'd never became any of them.

You can't break poor people mentality. Once you grow up poor, you don't take anything for granted. It can have the negative side also because you can never truly be relaxed.
