Gabourey Sidibe Quotes

For me, being an actress is not just a profession but a profession of faith.

I really knew with every fiber of my being that acting was - for lack of a better word - my calling.

Whether you've found your calling, or if you're still searching, passion should be the fire that drives your life's work.

Not every actor gives their life to do this job. Some just do it as a job. Well, it's my life.

Acting kind of chose me.

I like to say that I didn't choose acting - acting chose me.

Only be an actor if you can't be happy doing anything else. I don't think you should be an actor if you want to be actor. I think you should be an actor if you have to be an actor.

Acting is my calling, not my career.

Each man has his own vocation; his talent is his call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him.

Money or no money, acting is my calling.

The best definition I have ever heard of a vocation is that it's the place where your great joy meets the world's great need. We need all of you to find your vocation. To develop your joys, your passions, and to match them to the world's great needs.

When you engage in a work that taps your talent and fuels your passion-that rises out of a great need in the world that you feel drawn by conscience to meet-therein lies your voice, your calling, your soul's code.

A man knows when he has found his vocation when he stops thinking about how to live and begins to live.
