You have to work hard and your chances will come.

Concentrate on your job and you will forget your other troubles.

Every rejection is incremental payment on your dues that in some way will be translated back into your work.

When you discover your mission, you will feel its demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it.

It's like a kitchen, acting. Put a chef in a kitchen and they will have different recipes. Whatever your recipe, what works for you won't work for another.

If you feel driven and compelled to make your work and to be fiercely original and have something unique to say, in a compelling way, then chances are the helpers will be there for you the doors will open some, the ice will crack.

While I can't promise you that I'm going to be a perfect candidate and I can't promise you that I'm not going to make mistakes, I can unequivocally promise you that no one, no one, will work harder on your behalf, no one will fight harder with you and no one will make you more proud.
