When working on your own projects, don't rush the process. Resist the temptation to do things quickly. Try instead to do them masterfully.

I've always felt that writers are the unsung heroes of show business. Writers are not just technicians who churn out printed pages - any more than actors are technicians who give voices to the characters on those pages.

My earliest training was in theater, and I believe repetition and constant practice is vitally important when rehearsing a role. Working a scene over and over helps the actor discover layers and nuances in the character. There are no boring characters out there. It's an actor's job to delve deeply, however, discover what makes each character tick, and invest something unique from his or her own background into every new role.

If the odds are one in a million ... try your best to be the one.

Creativity helps you start and patience helps you finish.
