You Have to Keep At It!
“You have to keep at it! You do. And if it is the thing you really believe you want to do with your life, you will get there. You just have to keep going and keep going and keep going.”
“And keep yourself busy. You know? Don’t wait for the phone to ring. Fill your life in other areas because the more you enrich your life, the more enriched you’ll be as an actor and as a person and you’ll be able to bring much more to each role that you hopefully will get the chance to play.”
(Kate Winslet)
