My Walk Onstage

Stories, thoughts and lessons from a life in entertainment.

The opportunity to perform on a stage is a privilege.

Don’t Walk Onstage

Your entrance is the first line of your moment onstage.

Many entertainers can belt a high note. But can they tell a story?

The face is the window to the body.

The audience shouldn’t have to see your feet to feel you dance.

The audience shouldn’t merely see that you are smiling. They should understand why.

Taking the stage means understanding where the audience’s attention belongs—and helping it get there.

Perfection can impress an audience. Truth can move one.

You never know which uncomfortable step is preparing you for an opportunity you can’t yet see.

Sometimes the idea isn’t wrong. You just need the tenacity to find the right way to make it work.

Constantly pursue excellence—but don’t confuse excellence with perfection.

Leadership isn’t about finding your place at the top of the pyramid.
