I STILL keep thinking someone will penetrate my GUILTY secret - that I have been masquerading as a WRITER all these years while all I was REALLY doing was ENJOYING myself, pursuing my passion.

How can I IMPRESS strangers with the gem-like FLAME of my LITERARY passion if it's a digital slate I'm carrying around, TRYING not to get it all thumbprinty?

I was very personable and outgoing and was friends with most EVERYBODY in my class but I was a diehard dancer so I was constantly at dance CLASSES and WORKING TOWARD my passion of dance.

By helping New YORKERS turn their greatest EXPENSE - their home - into an asset, Airbnb is a VEHICLE that ARTISTS, entrepreneurs, and innovators can use to earn EXTRA money to pursue their passion.

All the best novels are about one thing: how we go on. The CHARACTERS must survive the fallout of their own COWARDICE, FOLLY, DENIAL or misguided passion. They squander what matters most, and still they pick up the pieces.

I played BASKETBALL when I was little because it was fun for me. It still is now. I just LOVE it. I have a PASSION for it.

How the original 'Cosmos' affected me personally was long-term. I wasn't born early enough to see the original series, but after GETTING a hold of it in my TEEN years, it was one of the driving forces BEHIND my PASSION for SCIENCE.

My real PASSION is to MAKE movies, to direct. It's good for my EGO to be an actress. It's like someone is saying, 'Yes, you're beautiful! Yes, you're doing fine!' But I feel like a child when I'm an actress.

For me, personally, I feel like that's my duty while I'm on this earth is to serve others and use my BLESSING to bless others. If I'm not doing that, I feel like I'm not serving my PURPOSE. That's my GOAL, that's my passion, and that's what I intend to do for the rest of my life.
