I've learned that success comes in a very prickly package. Whether you choose to accept it or not is up to you. It's what you choose to do with it, the people you choose to surround yourself with. Always choose people that are better than you. Always choose people that challenge you and are smarter than you. Always be the student. Once you find yourself to be the teacher, you've lost it.

I used to be an optimist, but now I know that nothing is going to turn out as I expect.

I hated my whole childhood, hated it, hated it, hated it. There was no place for me.

I mean, yeah, Anne Fletcher was a choreographer, but she was born to be a director. You need to have the ability to figure out people's rhythms. It all starts from the script.

I've been on the floor and I've been heartbroken. I didn't know how I was going to stand up. But I just gave it time.

I've made peace with the fact that the things that I thought were weaknesses or flaws were just me. I like them.

I think most of us are raised with preconceived notions of the choices we're supposed to make.
