It wasn't until I went to college that I met the theatre people and began to admire them because they were learning a trade that was guaranteed to make money!

I don't know why people are so surprised by my live performances.

Physical activity can get you going when you are immobilized. Get action in your life, and don't just talk about it. Get into the arena!

Singing well has always been important to me, but the most important factor is the connection to the audience.

I still can't believe that I've achieved what I have. It's like I've lived a dream for about five years now.

The more I stack, the more things I can buy: the more toys, the more houses, and everything. That's the motivation, but I'm also a competitive person. I need goals, and I need that competition and to drive for something.

To call myself a fighter is to be selfish at times. It makes me resent my opponent. That's motivation I can tap into.

It is such a cut throat industry where you get knocked down so much and get rejected so much. If you do not back yourself up, no one else is going to so you really need to learn to get up, shake the sand off your chest and keep going.
