It is better than anything in the world.

• The advice that I can give anyone wanting to be in the biz: do all the work, learn your craft. There are no shortcuts. If you stay with it, you will get an opportunity.

Eat it, drink it, sleep it, then when you are the most prepared, you can make the most of it.
