“All successes begin with Self-Discipline. It starts with you.”

Once you believe in who you are and who you were born to be, it can be very powerful.

I don’t worry about overexposure [in work], I think it’s important just to go in, and think about quality work and try to put the best movies out.

Success isn’t overnight. It’s when everyday you get a little better than the day before. It all adds up.

You’ve got to keep your finger on the pulse of what your audience is thinking and know what they’ll accept from you.
