I have always been passionate about dancing and acting, and before I was passionate about it, I was fascinated by it.
I am most passionate about dancing and acting, so performing was my focus, always. Even before I was old enough to be serious about it, I was always meddling with things - dancing all over the place and performing for my family.
The real self of an artiste lies in art, so when an artiste performs, all the pain, trauma and tension get released through art, be it dancing, painting, singing, writing or even martial arts.
I have been passionate about dancing and acting as long as I I can remember. It was a natural progression to make it my passion, pursue it, learn more about it, and develop myself as a performer.
I've always been somebody who sort of throws himself, you could say, obsessively into whatever thing I'm passionate about.
I've always been passionate about acting. I haven't been passionate about being famous.
A dubbing artiste does a lot of repair work for an artiste who doesn't naturally speak the language they are acting in.
It's multifaceted, the message to our music. It's not just that. It's about individuality, development of self, finding things in life that you can be passionate about.
I've done some acting stuff - a couple of films and other projects. But the thing I've been most passionate about is my writing.
Put it down in capital letters: SELF-DEVELOPMENT IS A HIGHER DUTY THAN SELF-SACRIFICE. The thing that most retards and militates against women’s self development is self-sacrifice.
My entry into films was forced, and I always had an affinity towards academics. Having said that, it is the artiste within that urged me to say yes to acting.
Christopher Plummer showed this 14-year-old aspiring actor what acting really was. I idolized him as my film father, he was my role model for the years that followed.
Acting is something I appreciate, and I think it's been an amazing experience. But I'm not passionate about acting the way you probably should be to call yourself an actor.
I'm very passionate about the use of sports in young people's lives to build self-esteem and self-discipline and self-confidence. It's been a big thing for me.
So I hope to stretch my acting skills. I got to a point in my dancing where I felt like I did so much hard work and I achieved a lot of great things, and I wanted to try something else and put that same kind of commitment that I did into my dancing into something that I was also passionate about. I had so many opportunities with my dance and now I'm just excited to get better as an actress.
Also, with acting and dancing I portray a predetermined character and story for the most part, with music I have the creative freedom to create a song on a whim with whomever I choose and at whatever time I choose to do it. It's more liberating artistically and that's why I've stuck with it. It's a good balance to be able to portray a character and also be myself in avenues that I'm passionate about.
