If you have a dream, you can spend a lifetime studying, planning, and getting ready for it. What you should be doing is getting started.
I don't see the point of having 80 million people online if all they are doing in the end is talking to ghosts in the suburbs.
My friends in the TV news business are in a state of despair about Donald Trump, even as their bosses in the boardroom are giddy over what he's doing for their once sagging ratings.
So many of these comics are just frustrated singers or actors - they want to get a gig doing a sitcom. It's paint-by-the-numbers comedy, lame joke-telling. They're drawn to it as a career move.
My ambition when I started out was to play two or three gigs a week. And that's what I'm doing.
My first manager was Gordon Mills, who I'd met right at the beginning. We shared a flat in London and traveled with rock bands doing one-nighters. Later, he became a songwriter and manager whose stable was Tom Jones, Gilbert O'Sullivan, and myself.
I was studying music in college. I was singing, I was doing operas and Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, and then I was offered a job as the music director of the Bigfork Summer Playhouse, in Bigfork, Montana.
I loved doing 'Gilmore Girls.' I love Amy Sherman-Palladino. I'd do anything with her.
I personally don't think ginger men have a habit of being attractive. We have to make ourselves seem attractive by doing stuff.
I had my moments of being humiliated, and then I had moments of doing something humiliating. I'm glad I lived out both roles.
We have a massive shortage of engineers and one of the big glaring holes is that we have so few women doing engineering - it's less than 10 per cent of the workforce.
It does get strange when you realize people will hang around for hours to get a glimpse of you doing scenes outside.
If we continue doing the right things in Africa, we can create a very exciting and competitive global market here.
We're showing a situation that these kids are caught in and being forced to do but the violence is not glorified. Most of the kids in there are not wanting to be doing it.
If I was in charge, I'd keep doing The Go-Go's forever, but it's a band, so everyone has their say.
My go-go dancing was not your typical go-go dancing: I really was doing performance art. I would do dramatic, elaborate lyricals across the bar. I learned a lot, actually, as an artist during that time.
If what you are doing is not moving you towards your goals, then it's moving you away from your goals.
I really enjoyed doing Albee's 'The Goat.' It's a powerful piece and a really exciting play to do.
When I first started doing screen work, I thought, 'I'm not beautiful enough for this profession - all the actresses I watch on screen are gorgeous and beautiful goddesses, but I'm just a scrawny, scruffy girl from southwest London.'
My philosophy through all my work, be it on canvas or on the street, is about pushing boundaries and not going with the flow because everyone else is doing something a certain way.
