Whenever an actor was going to die, I tried to help them understand not to take it personally. It wasn't about them. It's the story.

Culture is the intersection between people and dealing with the journey of life itself. How to deal with life, how a people deals with life is literally manifested in its culture, in its food, in its music, in its art, in the way you dance, the way you communicate.

Culture is the intersection of people and life itself. Its how we deal with life, love, death, birth, disappointment... all of that is expressed in culture.

People forget that art is not just a piece of entertainment. It is the place where we collectively declare our values and then act on them. That's one of the most powerful things we have as a community: our culture and our art. And it's the intersection between life and how people deal with life. It's the most important thing we do.

The role of culture is that it's the form through which we as a society reflect on who we are, where we've been, where we hope to be.

Be your true self. Because if you're not, there are consequences to be paid.

We don't eat to live, we live to eat because that's a part of the creativity of the day.
