James Avery Quotes
You are only an actor if you absolutely love it and can not do anything else. Starving for your art is great in your 20s, but it's not so great at 35. It has to be absolute love. You can't worry about being a movie star or anything else. Just love. That's it.

Whether it's a rest or another world or some kind of eternity, it doesn't seem like a scary thing.
