Make each day count by setting specific goals to succeed, then putting forth every effort to exceed your own expectations.

Review your goals twice every day in order to be focused on achieving them.

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.

If you set goals and go after them with all the determination you can muster, your gifts will take you places that will amaze you.

Bowie is probably my favorite all-around songwriter and performer and personality. His ability to change over the years is such an inspiration. I love 'Young Americans' and 'Fame.'

That's how I make work. Along the way, I take notes, I read about history and popular culture. Sometimes I act out things in the studio. I go back to my mother's hair salon so I can hear three voices going all at once. I pull inspiration from everything.

I'm always looking for something new: a new inspiration, a new philosophy, a new way to look at something, new talent.

Sir Derek Jacobi has been an inspiration to so many actors and audiences throughout his brilliant career. To see him in Shakespeare is an event in itself.
