If someone is willing to help you understand your own worth when you're vulnerable, that's a very touching thing. It makes you want to help other people.

If what you do is being threatened as a profession, that could be scary. But that's the same reason why I walked out on stage many times after receiving death threats. I couldn't live without doing what I wanted to do. So at the same time I have to be willing to die for it.

I have spent more than a decade trying to improve the lives of some of the most vulnerable people on earth, and they've taught me countless lessons.

No matter what your profession is, it's good to scare yourself a little from time to time! It's crucial to keep challenging yourself and to learn from people who are more accomplished than you are.

When I teach and meet a class for the first time, you realize that there are people there that have exceptional abilities or have the potential to do exceptional things and you never know who those people are. My job is to provide the best information I can.

For me, being able to be vulnerable is difficult, but it's just something that I feel comfortable doing. I need to fully understand why, the thought-process behind the character and I have to believe it. That comes from a lot of preparation.

You take all the things that frighten you, and when you can get them to work for you all of sudden people are calling you a success.

I think it takes a lot of confidence to be comfortable in being vulnerable.

It was high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, 'always do what you are afraid to do.'

There's so much more danger in someone where you really don't know what they're going to do, and you don't know what they're really capable of, rather than someone who's trying to be physically tough.
