It took several years of hard work in small roles before I attained stardom.

Glory is attained from hard work, step by step.

I toured for 13 years, and it was very lonely, and it was hard work.

It took me years to live down Dracula and convince the film producers that I would play almost any other type of role.

Everyone's like, 'overnight sensation.' It's not overnight. It's years of hard work.

It's worked out well. It took a lot of hard work and determination to get where I am.
