It isn't about what you do, but how you do it

It's not what one is, it's what one does with it.

A work is not about what it is about. It is about how it is about what it is about.

It is not what you do, but who you are.

Human beings are not just what they do, but who they are. A lot of my life is about what I'm doing.

It's not how you start, but it's how you finish.

It's not about the cards you're dealt, but how you play the hand.

You can either look at your career as the things you're going to leave behind, and they have to be executed flawlessly and you have to know exactly what it is that you're doing. Or you can be realistic about the fact that you're going to learn as you practice what you do.

The more life you live, the more experiences you have, and they do shape and inform you in really important ways. What you do for a career is one part of who you are, but it’s not all of who you are

What you do is more important than how you do everything else, and doing something well does not make it important.

Careers are not often as chosen as people think they are. People talk to me about my choices. I don't make choices, hardly. Things happen, and you say yes or no - usually 'yes', because it's always better to do something. What's the choice? Somebody will say, 'Don't do that part, you don't need to do that part.' And I'll say, 'Why not? What am I going to do? Sit around the house? I'd much rather go to work, and see actors, and have fun.

You have to remember that your work is something you do, not who you are.

It’s not about hair, it’s about being you--whether that’s something the industry has seen before and accepts or not.

In the big picture, life is not about grades. Life is about what you choose to study.
