You must do what you enjoy.
I actually moved from engineering to acting. I think what's important is how talented and passionate you are.
Run away from laziness; work hard. Touch intuition and listen to the heart, not marketing directors. Dream.
Being yourself is what will make you survive through anything. If you make music to please someone, it's the first step in the wrong direction. Always do what you believe in, no matter what people say. Only way to go!
I'm trying to show people that they can activate their own passions and find their own path.
Life is too short to be little. You must enlarge your imagination and then act on it.
Do something you love and people will love you for it.
Life is short. You better get out there and do what you want to do while you can.
After I finished school I wanted to do a bunch of courses - art history in Florence, fashion in London and acting in Los Angeles. So I started with acting, and soon I knew this is it, this is what I need to do.
It doesn't matter what people say or what the rules say or what you're supposed to do, you go after what's in your heart.
If you dig it, do it. If you really dig it, do it twice.
Make the most of whatever it is that floats your boat.
Invest your life in what you love.
Just go for it. Don't be afraid of trying new things. You have absolutely no idea what's going to present itself to you. Don't be frightened. Just buckle down and do whatever your heart desires.
If you tell people your ambitions, they usually laugh at you. When I told my girlfriends when I was 12 that I was going to Hollywood, they all laughed. And here I am!
I always tell people, start with what you're passionate about. If you truly are passionate, you'll keep it up.
Better not to work on things that you're not in love with.
That's what life is - you follow where your heart leads you - at least I do.
Work for the things that you care about.
What I learned at that moment on the subway 30 years ago, staring at my blank passport, was this: If you have an impulse to do something, and it's not totally irresponsible, why not do it? It might just be the journey you've always needed.
Fans are your greatest enemies because they tend to bracket you. And the moment someone expects I should do something, I break out. I often tell fans who say, 'Make a 'Gulal 2' or 'Gangs 3,' that I am living my dream, not theirs.
Do what you love, don't do anything else.
Follow your interests, get the best available education and training, set your sights high, be persistent, be flexible, keep your options open, accept help when offered, and be prepared to help others.
You only get one life, so it seems to me you might as well do the things you want to do.
Stop doing what the record companies are doing and do what's in your heart.
