The first step is you have to say that you can.

The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school.

I first wanted to be a comedian when I was six or seven and my dad showed me Laurel and Hardy's "Perfect Day" on tv.

Greatness lives on the edge of destruction

So to really be able to dive into what does it mean to be broken by an experience, and I developed it just through research and talking and understanding the truth of what it means to lose everything.

I've always been attracted to characters with insurmountable odds and obstacles, because innately, however inarticulately I've always believed that my dreams and my desires can command and bend time and space to be the things that I want them to be.

I know who I am, I know what I believe, that's all I need to know. From there, you do what you need to do.
