It’s hard to tell with these Internet startups if they’re really interested in building companies or if they’re just interested in the money.

So many people think of me as a character on TV, but first and foremost, my passion is teaching dance and creating employable, working dancers.

Becoming a writer is not a ‚career decision‘ like becoming a doctor or a policeman. You don’t choose it so much as get chosen, and once you accept the fact that you’re not fit for anything else, you have to be prepared to walk a long, hard road for the rest of your days.
