“It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.”
“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too can become great.”

“Make mistakes of ambition and not mistakes of sloth. Develop the strength to do bold things, not the strength to suffer.”

“I don’t want to be famous, I want to be successful. I want to have an accomplished career filled with a variety of roles and challenges. I want to create and inspire others to create. Fame is not a goal for me. Yes I want to be recognised, but recognised for what I have achieved. I have so many big dreams, many would say are unrealistic, but anything is possible if you want and work for it hard enough. Everyday I am inspired and motivated by the people around me. People I communicate with, be it actors, friends, strangers. You can find hope and encouragement in everyday life, you just have to open your eyes and broaden your mind. Think positive, BE positive.”
— Michelle Cox

“Life beats down and crushes our souls and theatre reminds us that we have one. At least the type of theatre that I’m interested in; that is, theatre that moves an audience. You have the opportunity to literally impact the lives of people if they work on material that has integrity. But today, most actors simply want to be famous. Well, being an actor was never supposed to be about fame and money. Being an actor is a religious calling because you’ve been given the ability, the gift to inspire humanity. Think about that on the way to your soap opera audition…”
