I had this totally impossible dream of being an actress. Trust me, just because I'm lucky enough to be doing this doesn't make any of this less of a pipe dream. And nothing gets my juices flowing like a really great performance. To see someone on stage, I get really excited.

I like time off because I also have a life outside of theater.

Octavio Paz

Every job from the heart is, ultimately, of equal value. The nurse injects the syringe; the writer slides the pen; the farmer plows the dirt; the comedian draws the laughter. Monetary income is the perfect deceiver of a man's true worth.

Criss Jami

I dropped out of NYU, moved out of my parent's house, got my own place, and survived on my own. I made music and worked my way from the bottom up.

Lady Gaga

Redemption just means you just make a change in your life and you try to do right, versus what you were doing, which was wrong.

Ice T

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life; that word is love.
