It's great when people appreciate your work, but I don't know how seriously to take it.

I think to be a well-rounded person, you have to experience good and bad, wonderful moments and pain. You need to meet people who have no exposure to kindness, who lack any opportunity and have no way out - like the homeless, the mentally ill - and you`ve got to learn empathy for them.

Everything is harder than you would imagine, including success.

It would be terribly boring to be earnest.
