He said,

“A lot of celebrities didn’t plan to be successful. The first secret of my success is having a plan. When I was coming into the industry, I knew it was possible to be an actor and succeed. It was also possible that I would not succeed. I asked myself several questions such as, ‘If I didn’t succeed, was I supposed to be there for the rest of my life’? ‘Did I have another plan in case things didn’t work out as planned’? ‘If I succeeded, how did I intend to use my fame’?

He added,

“It is one thing to be talented; it is another thing to gather other things and incorporate them into that talent. I learn from virtually everything I see. I study everything I see and everyone I meet on a daily basis, building on each one of them before going to bed. At a time I needed to interpret 12 different characters, I went back to my archives and brought out the different characters that I had studied over time,” he said.
