Never give up. You only get one life. Go for it!

Proving yourself in a field where the casualty rate is so notoriously high is an ongoing challenge.

I place an enormous premium on loyalty. If someone betrays me, I can forgive them rationally, but emotionally I have found it impossible to do so.

Anthony Hopkins says you just keep acting. Do it all the time and eventually it will happen. He got his break, after all, by taking a role nobody else wanted. A cannibal!
