Given that I can't sing like Freddie Mercury, obviously I'm not going to pursue it as a career. What would be the point?
I've basically made a career out of my imagination. I feel very lucky.
OLTL' has now allowed me to sing through the character as Blair. If you've followed my 20-some-odd-year career, you know I am a singer.
Music has always played a big part in my life and, believe it or not, in my soap opera career.
I'm able to inspire other people, to see the potential of a career, they can look to me and see that they can do it.
But on the other hand, I look back at my career sometimes and can't believe how fast everything has gone and how much I've been able to accomplish.
I hope to continue building my acting career and work more on projects that fulfill my artistic thirst.
[The career a young man should choose should be] one that is most consonant with our dignity, one that is based on ideas of whose truth we are wholly convinced, one that offers us largest scope in working for humanity and approaching that general goal towards which each profession offers only one of the means: the goal of perfection ... If he works only for himself he can become a famous scholar, a great sage, an excellent imaginative writer [ Dichter ], but never a perfected, a truly great man.
Everything I've been through, everything I'm about to go through in my career and my life, if my family wasn't with me and didn't support me, it would be really tough.
I don't know if I'm all that famous. When I first started my idea of what a career in fashion would look like is very different to the reality now.
There are a lot of things about my career now that are as I imagined, hoped for and worked towards.
Canadians are very proud of me, of my career.
It's a time to reflect and appreciate all the contributions that others have made to my career and my life. My vision is nothing that hasn't been gleaned or understood from watching and working with so many people I admire before me.
I regret that I didn't enjoy it all more. I didn't savour it until the end because I was so hard on myself. Life goes by so quickly. A dancer's career goes by so quickly. You've got to enjoy those moments when you know you've done your best.
I have to say from an actor's perspective, to work with a director who has been an actor through most of their career is a pleasure. They generally have a very deep understanding of the process of what you're doing, of how you are building and exploring the character.
I said to myself, 'I've waited a long time in my life to have a child, and I'm missing it, I want to continue to have a career, but not this way.
Many with careers in the art world are intimidated, and afraid to speak out against the gospels of Modernist theory.
There's a lot of craft that goes into achieving a hit song - at the beginning of your career, you're usually more inspiration than craft, and you get great when those intersect. A skilled songwriter can get you to that intersection.
I've learned a lot from doing the sitcom. I've learned so much about comedic timing. For all the movies I've done, I've played so many different roles. I love both, but I guess in my career maybe I want to stick more to film.
It's ok to say I don't know. Realizing this earlier in my career would have put me more at ease.
In the 30 years of my career, I have explored all possible mediums, except radio.
I am always going to be working on location, even if I have a 20-year career. Talk to me in 15 years and I will still be working on location. It's something I can always do better. Right now, it's not nearly where it could be, so it gives me something to work on every day.
I sort of dreamed about directing before my career as an actor took off. I've directed stage before in so many capacities on tours. I put that together. You have to. Otherwise, it's your statement. It's your voice, and that has to come through.
To me acting is a hobby and I'm inspired by it. And if I'm going to spend time doing something that I'm not really inspired to do, then why am I doing it? I don't know if that sounds sort of new agey or whatever, but it's true. I've been lucky enough to have a musical career that has gone pretty good and acting is something I have always wanted to do.
Choosing writing as a career, just by itself, is a measure of not being a calculating person.
