As long as you’re not hurting anybody else, as long as you’re being kind to people and you’re doing what you love, only good things can come of it.
I think more than anything, you should do what you love. If you love classical playwrights, seek out companies or places that are doing that. If you love modern playwrights, try to find groups who are writing new plays or working on new plays. If you love television, watch as much theater and film as you can.
I think that if you write what you love to read, that will be what your audience wants to read, too.
I tell people you should write what you love to read because that’s where your passion is.
There’s this idea that if you want to write, you shouldn’t study literature because then you’re dissecting what you love, and you should keep your love of literature pure. I think that’s kind of silly.
I think it doesn’t matter if you are the best surfer in the world. I’m going to try to be the best surfer I can be. It’s not all about competing and being the best. It’s more about having fun and just doing what you love.
I’d always dreamed of being an actor and going out to Los Angeles or New York and being paid to do what you love, and then I went and did that, and it wasn’t what I expected.
Believe in yourself, listen to your gut, and do what you love.
Do what you love and the necessary resources will follow.
I don’t think I have ever thought of myself as a movie star. I think when I was about seven, I thought it must be lovely to have an Oscar. But the more involved you are in this business, the more that pretence disappears, and you really get to see what you love about it, and what I love is working.
I grew up knowing the pros and cons of the business and knowing what comes with pursuing what you love in terms of being in the public eye. I also grew up among people that were considered celebrities and people that people admired.
The women I know who have children and have careers, they seem to be very happy. They love their children and they love their jobs. But happiness comes out of being willing to do your work in your twenties to find out who you are, what you love.
When work is what you love to do, it’s not work – it’s serving.
Success is when you see something, and you say, ‘I want to do that,’ and then you do it. It’s being happy with what you do and doing what you love every day.
At the end of the day, if you’re still kickin’, and you’re still doin’ what you love, and you still have a dream, that’s all you need.
It’s really cool to just be able to do what you love alongside the person that you love.
It’s great if you can find what you love to do. Finding it is one thing, but then to be able to practise that and be preoccupied with that is another.
I believe that when you do what you love, you find higher levels of satisfaction that can compensate for lower income.
I actually really love to work out. You need to find what you love.
When a person makes fun of you, when a person is cruel to you, it has nothing to do with you. It’s not about what you said. It’s not about what you did. It’s not about what you love. It’s about them feeling bad about themselves.
