Personal Quotes I'm a firm believer in never giving up because there really is no time limit in your passion, when things are slow you can keep yourself occupied, but see it also depends on the person. I have too many to name but to start Colin Farrell, Sean Penn, Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, Don Cheadle, Denzel Washington, Angelina Jolie, Jada Pinkett-Smith, just to name a few because you can tell not only are they very talented individuals but they love what they do, it's not about the fame and I feel I can learn a lot from them.
