When you line up on the track, you want to have done your homework, be aware of what they are capable of. You think about everything. It's like taking a journey, innit?

I wasn't the best student. I wasn't stupid, but I wasn't paying a lot of attention.

There are scores you have to write objectively without getting involved.

You've got to clock the hours and pay your dues. Then eventually, people will come to you. You have to be patient and appreciative.

The same people who never did their homework in high school are still doing that to this very day out in the real world.

I prepare for every role. I come into class with my homework under my arm.

I am not like my image; I take my work so seriously. Everyone thinks I just bounce in, but I study and everything has to be just right.

I've noticed with my own kids, it seems like they have so much more homework than I did.

So this is the space during tutoring hours. It's very busy. Same principles: one-on-one attention, complete devotion to the students' work and a boundless optimism and sort of a possibility of creativity and ideas.

The important thing is to concentrate upon what you can do - by yourself, upon your own initiative.
