“I knew from a young age that I wanted to be an actor. I never even thought about other careers.

“I don't think I've ever tried to be something that I'm not. People do that for you. People try to pigeonhole you. People tried typecasting me, before they even saw me in anything else. I've never understood that. I was like, "Why don't you wait until my next project, before you start telling my what my career is going to look like, for the next 10 years?"

I've always wanted as many people as possible to hear my music, and it definitely made sense for the majority of my career to be on a major label, on a distribution level, to be in people's faces and be out there, and have access to major labels' incredible machine, even though they have not understood or haven't been invested in what I was doing.” PeopleYearsMadeWantedFacesLevelsCareersHavensMajorsUnderstoodMachinesMajorityIncrediblesAccessLabelsDistribution Author:DJ Shadow
“When she (my mother) passed away, I kind of understood the commitment that she made to make sure that I could stay in skating. And I wanted to live up to whatever I could. Not so much win everything, but just to be the best that I could possibly be, to honor her memory and everything she went through to make sure that I was given the opportunities to be the best that I can be. Not to be a world champion or an Olympic gold medalist, but to be the best that I could be. And that was the most important thing that ever happened in my career.” WorldKindMadeI CanImportantWantedMotherOpportunityWinningGivenMemoriesCareersHappenedHonorUnderstoodCommitmentGoldImportant ThingsChampionBeing The BestSkatingPassed AwayWorld ChampionsMother Passed Away Author:Theodore Roosevelt
