My concentration was really on getting to university and becoming a doctor. My parents let me know that school marks were important. Achievement was something which came by hard work.
For me, it is important to win titles and for that I need to work hard, stay healthy and be able to compete. The rest, I always say, it comes.

I am not the greatest actor in the world, but the reason I keep working is that I work hard and show up every day and be easy to work with.
Artistry is important. Skill, hard work, rewriting, editing, and careful, careful craft: All of these are necessary. These are what separate the beginners from experienced artists.

I know that to write you have to have stories you want to tell. You have to keep your mind alive, and you have to work hard.

Even English-teacher bookworms need friends and bars.
