Here are the top five pieces of advice:

2. Work ethic: "I outworked everyone. That's how I knew I was doing the right thing."
3. On constantly improving: "I'm never not thinking about how to improve a show."
4. Never give up: "Sometimes [what you want] will come late in life. Don't give up on your dreams."
5. Believe in yourself: "Stop with the fear. You're going to be great. You need to show confidence."
