Work has been my lover - I've shied away from any commitments.
I'd never done a straight play before, never, and it was very hard work - really, really hard work. It was dense, really wordy, and I was determined to learn every word of it - not just skip over bits and pieces.
Canelo is an elite fighter, and I never shied away from a challenge.
I have never shied away from taking risks in my career, and I would not do that in the future either.
I think the movie industry is a hard industry, but it is not that hard to be allowed to do what you want if you work hard.
We have never shied away from making investments. Even during downcycles, we never stopped our investments.
I really try hard not to work, not to engage, because I know what that means. What hard work it is; it takes me away from my family.
Chicago, we always had it. People just shied away because it's nothing businesswise from the industry. Everybody from Chi will go to N.Y.C. or L.A. - R. Kelly to Kanye to even Twista. Everybody is great from there, but it's nothing downtown.
In the industry, people talk about how getting their first project was a struggle but for me, the real struggle in Mumbai was to adapt to the lifestyle, culture and work ethics.
Whatever role I have had on the management side I pride myself on having done my best in the job. I have never shied away from that responsibility.
In the industry, artists of of color struggle the most. Caucasian artists have really solidified themselves in the industry, and with African Americans now we see directors and producers who vow to only produce work that shines a light on African American artists. But everybody in the middle gets lost.
I never wanted to design clothes. I never wanted to work for the fashion industry. Shoes sort of belong to the fashion industry, which is why I'm part of the fashion industry. But that's never been my thought. My thought since I was a child was really to design those shoes for girls on stage.
I'm a musician - music will never go away - but my focus is acting, and I started late so I have to play catch-up. So that means I have to work twice as hard in this game. But it will never stop, I think I always feel I have to work twice as hard.
