I was a boy soprano. I had a natural kind of voice and then trained it after my voice changed.

My mother - the Irish side of the family - was very musical. My mother was a singer; there was music around the house all the time.

I didn't have to do paper routes. I'd sing for 5 bucks a crack at weddings and church functions; I'd have four or five on some Saturdays.

I grew up in Winnipeg, in the Canadian midwest, the fifth child. It was a great household to grow up in - I was loved to sweet death.

It's a joy to work where I live, and come home and sleep in my own bed.

For my first acting job I played the role of Ensign Pulver in 'Mr. Roberts' at the Manitoba Theatre Centre.

I pursued a theatre career, and Hollywood came calling.

I was an actor for over a year before I ever saw a play.

My mother was a singer, and both of her sisters were singers. There was always music around.

Love like the morning sun

Art is a sense of magic.

A good oration is good and a good understanding is better, but a good action in the right direction that gets the best results is the best!

There is no such whetstone, to sharpen a good wit and encourage a will to learning, as is praise.

The glorious thing for you always has consequences for others.

The decision to go into debt alters the course and condition of your life. You no longer own it. You are owned.

But be very, very careful, because when you're playing with momentum, you're playing with fire.

My Swaraj takes note of bhangis, dheds, dublas and the weakest of the weak, and except the spinning wheel I know no other thing which befriends all these.

I wanted to be the fifth Beatle.

The universe will reward you for taking risks on its behalf.
