The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
When all this fame first comes, it's like being hit by a giant wave. You panic and think if you can just calm down and see where it's going, you'll be okay. Then you become more relaxed.
You can have a plan, but you have to be flexible. Every day is unpredictable, and you just have to go with the flow.
This business is fickle. You have very good patches and less good patches, but you learn to ride them out. As long as you don't take yourself too seriously, you'll be fine. When you lose sight of that, you're in trouble.
There are going to be good days and bad days. Bottom line.
Sometimes you gotta leave when you're on top.
When you're hot, you try to ride it as long as you can.
I think everybody does go in expecting they're making 'Gone With The Wind' on their first movie. But you know, that's just not going to be the case, everybody. Hold onto your hat. Buckle in. It's probably going to take a few.
If you get labeled a winner, people come along for the ride. Might as well enjoy it and they should too.
I'm always the go-with-the-flow sort of person anyway, so with the game moving this way or that way, I'm going to go with it.

Turbulence is life force. It is opportunity. Let's love turbulence and use it for change.
Everyone knows that in Hollywood, when you're hot, you've got to run with it. Because eventually they kick you out.
It's good to surf whatever waves are going on right there as they're happening.
Life has a habit of not staying hitched. You got to ride it like you find it.
It's better to finish at the peak or soon after it, than to wait until the audience notices a decline.
Trends, like horses, are easier to ride in the direction they are going.
Life is a roller coaster. There are ups; there are downs. There are hills; there are valleys, peaks, and so on.
Show business is like a bumpy bus ride. Sometimes you find yourself temporarily juggled out of your seat and holding onto a strap. But the main idea is to hang in there and not be shoved out the door.

It's fairly easy to know when you've succeeded because you're kind of hanging on for dear life. It's such an unstoppable juggernaut; you're trying to stay with your head above water because things are moving so fast.
Keep things in perspective. It's never quite as good as it seems, it's never quite as bad as it seems.
It's a real roller-coaster ride if you're lucky to have longevity in this business - you have to be able to ride those waves.
