I am musical and I enjoy theatre, but I never wanted to just do theatre. I always wanted to go into film. I love film. I loved growing up in the theatre, but I always wanted to do film all along. But, I still pursue music separately.

On the one hand, young theatre directors were coming to television theatre, because they wanted to get closer to the cinema, despite having studied and worked for the theatre.

Build It Up, Break It Down

Go from nothing
No family
No mother
No support

Create a life
Join a family
Become a daughter
Gain a sister

Happiness, joy
Love
Support
The works

Lose your other half
Lose your home
Lose your family
Lose everything you built

All at once
Like a domino

I'm trying to make enough money where I can be financially independent and be able to go and just pursue that thing that everybody really needs, just pursue my family and the cause of my family.

Family vs. Friends

Friends come in your life as ocean waves come and go.
You friends may be there one day and be gone the next.
Family is like blood, you need it to survive and it will always be there.
Family is there the day you are born and will be until the day you die.
Friends may be there for the short term, it is your family that will
remain by your side.
Always put your family first, friends should go second.
Family will be there to support you and catch you when you fall.
Friends may be good to talk to when you are feeling down,
but they might not be there when you need someone the most.
Family will be there to laugh and they will be there to cry.
Family will be there through the good and bad.
Family is always there.

My Family

My family will forever be in my heart,
My sister's mean the world to me,
More than life,
All I ever wanted was a complete family,
To have a mother whom I never met,
My family will always remain who they are in my heart and soul,
My family is more important than my friends and my lover,
Family will always come first,
Family is family,
No matter what they did they'll always remain family.

Theatre is expensive to go to. I certainly felt when I was growing up that theatre wasn't for us. Theatre still has that stigma to it. A lot of people feel intimidated and underrepresented in theatre.

My mother, whose family was heavily rabbinic, said she wanted me to continue the family tradition in the rabbinate. My father said he wanted me to be a scholar of the Talmud, but he wanted me to make my living in science.

Listening Is Best

Anything under the sun

has something to talk about

especially when it affects life

big or small doesn't matter at all

it is the significance that count most

Family is primary issue

maybe most do not care

at the end family is there

to comfort and support you

after all what others have done

Lend an ear to your family circle

and each shall do the same to you

listenind is best way to win an argument

as it shall open all the avenues of resolution

at the end problems can be settled peacefully

just how right I am

I just can’t understand
how it is that
the world can’t understand
how right I am
and how wrong it is

OK, we’ll excuse the world, for the moment,
since it is far removed from my person
and my mind
so it can’t really be expected to understand my
unfailing rightness:
just how right I am and how just I am;
but the family, my family –
no, not the family of man
but the damned family of mine, my blood and bones and skin –
I can’t understand for the world of me
why my own family
that eats at the table with me
can’t understand
how right I am
and wrong they are…
just how right I am
and how just I am…
Look, I can understand about the world
but I just can’t understand
how the family….

I mean, this is where the family is important
for if the family can give me
just a little support –
just a teeny-weeny bit – I mean how much
does it take
for the family to see
how right I am
and how wrong the family is.
Is that really asking for too much?
You see, I’m sure you can see,
if only the family could agree
the world itself would see
how right I am…
But what is to be done?
prophets are never accepted
in their own home
and so in their own family too…
and so perhaps the truth lies in this cliché…

still, if one looks at it clearly,
I just can’t understand
how it is that
the world, which includes that silly family of mine,
can’t understand
how right I am
and how wrong it is

Sister Anita Travels With Me

When I was a teenager Anita was there,
she gave me support, she really cared.
I was the blacksheep that was to blame
for the family's unresolved shame.
Anita wanted to go with me
on my travels to friends of Dory & Mary.
I would go with Anita on a bus
we would go to different cities the two of us.
I did not want Anita to stay
I wanted her to go back home, she'ld be O.K.
But Anita stayed with me until the end
she would hang out with my city friends.
When we got home things didn't change
same family dynamics, I was to blame.
I wouldn't of missed those teenage days
they were fun and interesting anyway.

I have a family! !

I have a family

My ancestry a mystery
I was abandoned as a child.
I had no family history.
To which I am now reconciled.

From nursery to children’s home
Until I was adopted by
A couple who made me welcome
With whom I lived quite happily.

They had three children of their own
Who readily accepted me?
An orphan parentage unknown
Addition to their family.

I had three sisters instantly
And better still a mum and Dad.
Who had especially chosen me
to be their only little lad.

I vowed to make them proud of me
I studied hard did well at school.
Then on to university.
I showed the world I was no fool.

I’m a successful businessman
My Family is quite proud of me
which only goes to show you can
overcome successfully.

With the support of family
the problems which you have to face.
To become what you want to
and be a winner in life’s race.

My mum and dad mean more to me
than accolade I may earn.
They fed and clothed and nurtured me
now I support them in my turn

An orphan boy who they took in.
They raised me as their only son
with loving care and discipline
I think I was the lucky one.

They say success is down to me
That I worked to make my way
but we agree to disagree
I love them more than I can say.

Inspirations

Life...

instills in me inspiration

like breath in the air

tact to venture free.

Family...

Loved ones who are there

when I need encouragement

whom I can rely for support.

Wife...

A partner who shares

everything with intimacy

In health and in sickness.

Children...

Reason why I do my best

to support them their needs

for they are me in the future.

Jesus...

My primary spiritual inspiration

Who guides my soul and gives wisdom

to overcome all life's adversities and trials.

All these are my inspirations

they make my life complete

and meaningful.

Rules of Engagement

Since neither of us are committed,
To continue our relationship.
I want the ring I gave you back.
Since the obligation to fulfill that contract,
Has been cancelled.

'But...
You gave that ring to me.
And I have shown it to friends,
And family.'

That was on you who decided to
Have them view and then ruin...
The rules of engagement,
I wanted to pursue.

'And what with it will you then do? '

Pawn it!
What did you think?
I would allow my investment sink?
To have your friends and family believe,
Both of us are fools?
And I'm the one blinded by love.
And would allow that too?

Slip that off your finger!
And put it in my hand!
Maybe you will find someone else,
Who will understand your collection habits.
I-am-not-that-one!

Kumana

There is no life
but Family.

When I am young
I live with my Family.

When I grow up
I leave my Family.

When I am lonely
I miss my Family.

When I am drunk
I reverse-charge my Family.

When I pass away
I unite my Family.
