I find in working always the disturbing intrusion of elements not a part of my most interested vision, and the inevitable obliteration and replacement of this vision by the work itself as it proceeds.

What you want to do is, you want to get away from people being afraid to show their work, which is the first thing, because they don't want to be shot down.

My job is to bring out in people what they wouldn't dare do themselves.

I think I can get away, sometimes, with walking in the streets and not getting noticed. I like that. I want my work to get noticed, not me. And it's slowly getting there, which is good.

Work while you have the light. You are responsible for the talent that has been entrusted to you.

My philosophy is, 'Show up, shut up, and do your job,' and if you do it to the satisfaction of your director and the public, you're likely to be able to do it again.

What I did before in my career you can pretty much throw out the window. Out of sight, out of mind.

Activate yourself to duty by remembering your position, who you are, and what you have obliged yourself to be.

I've managed to keep my career going in a way that suits me. I'll perform, and then I'll go home to my actual life, and I've never been so visible.

If we are striving, if we are working, if we are trying, to the best of our ability, to improve day by day, then we are in the line of our duty.
