Quotes
“If I can’t see it in the rehearsal room, what makes you think I’ma trust you to deliver on the stage!”
― Billy Porter, Unprotected: A Memoir
“Do you want to be a star, or do you want to be an artist? Being a star for fame’s sake is ego-driven. Being an artist requires stripping away ego and grounding oneself in service.”
