“Don't ever quit. Never quit. Never show anybody you're hurt. Grin and walk through the cannon smoke. It will drive them up the wall. You always stay true to your own principles. You always believe in your gift. God doesn't make mistakes when he presents someone with a gift like that. It's there for a reason. Tell the naysayers, those who reject you, to drop dead!

“Now I know that if I'm in a fight or a big argument with executives or the studio or whoever, and it's getting to a point where it's starting to get bad, I don't have to have the fear of, "Am I strong enough to see this through?

I don't have to make it about whether I'm being strong enough or tough enough.” IfsKnowsHeartEnoughBigsFightingStrongWalksIssuesMy HeartEgoToughArgumentStartingStudiosQuittingExecutivesStrong Enough Author:Ronald D.
