There's been enough building of fences with labels trying to categorize artists, limiting artists' ability to be themselves.

I've always had good connections with cars and always knew how to fix them, so I didn't have trouble with breakdowns.

The big message I give to all of our clients, and anyone we lecture to, is you have to be smart with your money.

Some are in it for the money, which is fine. Some of them are in it to be a movie star; that's another reason. Some actors - and this I never understand - will only play likeable characters. And if they're not likeable, they change them to be heroic.

It's a widely-held belief that Millennials are obsessed with money. And it's also wildly true. Just don't mistake it for a fixation with getting rich.
