I think I've grown a lot in the last few years, and I needed to express myself as an artist on this. It wasn't necessarily about going in and making an album chocked full of hit singles... there were a lot of things I did out of the joy and the want to do it.
You have to sniff out joy. Keep your nose to the joy trail.
I'm nothing else but an artist, I'm sure, and delighted to be.
The secret to success: find something you love to do so much, you can’t wait for the sun to rise to do it all over again.
I'd rather be a failure at something I love than a success at something I hate.
It was far in the sameness of the wood; I was running with joy on the Demon's trail, Though I knew what I hunted was no true god.
I sort of cringe when I hear myself say the word 'work.' Getting to do something you love to do never really feels like work.
Music never felt like a job.
If I get to tell good stories with good people, that's good enough for me.
Of all the pursuits open to men, the search for wisdom is most perfect, more sublime, more profitable, and more full of joy.
I think you can lose yourself in any creative activity - if you enjoy your job or enjoy a task, you can lose yourself in that.
If you do what you love, you're going work your butt off every day.
What I am anxious to see in Christian believers is a beautiful paradox. I want to see in them the joy of finding God while at the same time they are blessedly pursuing Him. I want to see in them the great joy of having God yet always wanting Him.
Always, always pursue happiness.
When you like something and you're pretty good at it and you can make a living doing it, you don't ask why. You just count your blessings and go with it.
I write songs, and I sing them. I never formulated a plan; I can't tell anyone else how to do this. But it feels right, so I just kind of enjoy it and get on with it.
Film is a lark to me - thank God I don't have to make a living from it.
What I wanted to do was the comedy, and I found that. I found my bliss, I think.
I just really always try to do what's in my heart and I'm still passionate about the music; I still love what I am doing.
And I was mischievous. I was always into something. So when I got good attention from the singing, I knew that was probably where I needed to land.
Find something that makes you happy and go for it.
I just love being able to create and make things that inspire and that make people laugh, and my motivation to keep going is to make more opportunities to do that.
Obviously, I want my kids to be happy, and I believe that they can be super successful at whatever they want to do, but don't make the successful part more important than the process of doing it. Especially if it's an artistic endeavor.
I truly enjoy and love acting, it's a passion and is therapeutic for me. It is the one thing that makes me truly happy. My sole goal is to grow as a performer each day.
I just enjoy what I do - looking forward to going on a film set, being in front of the camera, interacting with many people. I'm fortunate to be living my dream.
