“The voice in your head also creates a huge amount of problems that aren't really problems. They're just things that haven't happened yet, things that could happen tomorrow or next week. Listening to unreal problems has another name: worrying. That's what the voice in your head does. It what-ifs. It frets. It agonizes, and you can no longer sense the joy of life.” IfsLifeDoeProblemHappensJoyNextNamesVoiceWorryHappenedWeekHavensHugeListeningAmountTomorrowUnrealJoy Of LifeNext Week Author:Eckhart Tolle
“When you are trying to get a shot, you can't be pleasing everybody. And I tend to be sort of collaborative and a bit of a pleaser. And when I'm directing, people just sort of call me Black Hat Gabriela. Because suddenly they're like, "What happened to you?" Because I stop listening. And I feel strident. I feel rude. And I feel un-collaborative.” PeopleFeelsTryingBitsBlackHappenedListeningShotsHatsCall MeRudePleasersBlack Hats Author:Liz W. Garcia
“My so-called bad dress-sense phase happened when I was confused - I think I was taking advice all too often, without listening to my inner voice.

“My feeling about young people who want to pursue a career is - the first thing is do your homework on where it all started. Go back and look at history. Look at why the shows you are loving today happened and the artists you are listening to happened. And do your homework on history. Whether it's musical movies, musical plays, Broadway musical recordings - do your homework! And then, that way you will have an understanding of why, now, certain movies, certain plays, certain musicals are making some sort of sense.” PeopleWayWantFirstsLooksPlayShowsFeelingsTodayYoungArtistCertainUnderstandingCareersHappenedListeningMusicalPursueBroadwayHomeworkBroadway MusicalWhy Now Author:Lorna Luft
“What I bring to the interview is respect. The person recognizes that you respect them because you're listening. Because you're listening, they feel good about talking to you. When someone tells me a thing that happened, what do I feel inside? I want to get the story out. It's for the person who reads it to have the feeling . . . In most cases the person I encounter is not a celebrity; rather the ordinary person. "Ordinary" is a word I loathe. It has a patronizing air. I have come across ordinary people who have done extraordinary things.
