78 Who Do You Think You Are?
path. When I do my one-man shows I always tell my students maybe you
majored in history, or law, or English, or sociology or business and you’re
thinking now, “I don’t know if I want to go to law school, I don’t know if
I want to go to business school.” If you don’t know what you want to do,
that’s okay, but do something. Do something constructive.
I know that once you get on that path doing something
constructive, and something that you like, it will help you. It will catapult
you into that thing that you would do without getting paid. All of us want
to get paid; all of us want to be rewarded financially for us for what we
do. When I started singing, I used to sing for free. Then I got to a place
where I was like, I’m a little too talented for people not to pay me. I
needed to tell myself, “You’re worth whatever money you ask for.” So
do something that moves you so much that you could do it for free,
something that brings you that type of passion. If you don’t know what
your passion is, do something constructive, because it will help you to
getting into that place where what you’re doing is your passion. It works
for everybody, there’s something in it for everybody. Just trust your
intuition, go down the road, and keep following the path.
