Quick Fire Questions - Inside The Actors Studio (James Lipton) + The Tim Ferriss Show
Oscar Wilde - “If you want to be a grocer, or a general, or a politician, or a judge, you will invariably become it; that is your punishment. If you never know what you want to be, if you live what some might call the dynamic life but what I will call the artistic life, if each day you are unsure of who you are and what you know you will never become anything, and that is your reward.”
