If there were already a path, it would have to be someone else's; the whole point is to find your own way.
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it's not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take. That's why it's your path.
Your own path you make with every step you take. That's why it's your path.
Sometimes being an actor is being a song in someone else's mixtape, so I really understand why more and more actors are making films of their own.
Not to decide is to decide. Letting something go until it 'decides itself' is Life by Default. You don't want to live that way. So choose. Choose right now. Stop worrying about what you can 'lose' or how you can 'win' and just follow your joy. Where does your joy say you should go?
To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.
Never follow somebody else's path; it doesn't work the same way twice for anyone.
It is good to follow one's own bent, so long as it leads upward.
With my career, everything I do is me. There's no one that handles telling me what I should be about or how I should dress or anything. I'm hands on with absolutely everything. When I'm writing a song, I'm already thinking of the visual for the song and I'm already thinking of what I'm going to wear in that visual and what I'm going to wear when I perform. It all goes hand in hand. Everything I do is just me expressing different sides of myself.
Whatever road I take, the guiding star is within me; the guiding star and the loadstone which point the way. They point in but one direction. They point to me.
Giving people some kind of control over what they do is important. Human beings don't do their best work under conditions of control.
I prefer owning something and partnering with other people, instead of like joining something.
All of us have to learn how to invent our lives , make them up, imagine them. We need to be taught these skills; we need guides to show us how. If we don't, our lives get made up for us by other people .
If you are known to do something well, people want to see you do that. But what you choose to do is up to you. After 'Delhi Belly,' I got some 40 scripts - some on the same lines as 'Delhi Belly.' So, I guess people only get stereotyped if they want to.
Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.
Why make life so dull when you can make it exciting and meet amazing people and go to countries and see things? You make life the way you want it to be. A lot of people don't realize that at the end of the day, the ultimate control of what you do and your destiny, it lies in the way you want to direct yourself.
You must forge your own path for it to mean anything.
I have been in control of what I've been doing, of the career I've put together.
People tried to do a lot of stuff with me early in my career where they tried to shape me into one thing or another. They couldn't just take the chance and go with my vision - which was just my intuition, really.
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the guy who'll decide where to go.
Never follow anyone else's path, unless you're in the woods and you're lost.
Don't follow leaders, watch your parkin' meters.
You always do what you want to do. This is true with every act. You may say that you had to do something, or that you were forced to, but actually, whatever you do, you do by choice. Only you have the power to choose for yourself.
When I was young, I wasn't disciplined at all.
