I got on stage and I went, "Oh wow. No stage fright." I couldn't do public speaking, and I couldn't play the piano in front of people, but I could act.

I just went, "That is the conversation I want to have."

To think that practice and realization are not one is a heretical view. In the Buddha Dharma, practice and realization are identical.
