Trish Stratus Quotes

My direction as a person working in film has been to never get comfortable with anything I was doing. At the time that I decided to do action films, people were telling me, "Well, you can't do it. You're not that type. It's not going to work." And so obviously that made me think, "Well, that's not comfortable. Maybe I should try it. What can I do with it?" So I did that, and I'm glad I did it. I'll probably do it again, and I did other kinds of things that seemed like challenges for me, because I like being on the high wire.

Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring.

You don't want to try to recreate something you've already done.

If there are challenges thrown across, then some interesting, innovative solutions are found. Without challenges, the tendency is to go on the same way.

If doing anything new, you're very used to having insurmountable obstacles.

Growth is uncomfortable; you have to embrace the discomfort if you want to expand.
