You should ask for a performance evaluation. Ask your boss, where do I stand? I need to know what I can do better and what I'm doing well.

Just keep asking questions. Does this job allow me to be myself? Does it make me smarter? Does it open doors? Does it represent a compromise I accept? Does it touch my inner being?

Ask yourself: Does the job touch my heart and feed my soul? You will never be what you were meant to be if you aren't having fun.

I've been writing and wanting to direct for a long time.

We was on our way to fame, got matching suits and Beatle boots.

The companies that are successful, they start out to make meaning, not to make money.

Dance is communication, and so the great challenge is to speak clearly, beautifully and with inevitability.

Poverty disproportionately affects women around the world.

One of the things I'm concerned about is that I really want to make sure the races of all the characters are kept. I don't like it when black characters become white in movies, or things like that.

No matter how hard you're going, you can always go harder.

We are nothing if we walk alone; we are everything when we walk together in step with other dignified feet.

We must learn to suffer more.
