I hope my talent has something to do with it. I just think this business is so crazy. I obviously do the best I can, and the directors I admire see something in me. But this is a strange business, and there are people who are incredibly talented who never make it, who never get these opportunities. So that's why I say I'm lucky. I don't feel that I'm not talented - I think I am talented - but I also think I'm very lucky.

Until your personality has exhausted its obsession with running the show, your soul isn’t given the space to express itself.

Your personality is like a wild horse that tries to throw off the rider trying to tame it. The rider is your soul.
