The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Harry Shum Jr.
- I was always an actor, starting in middle school. I was in all the plays and all that. But dancing didn’t come into my life until late into high school.
- I was born in Costa Rica and we moved to America where it was a whole new world for me.
- Everyone has different talents, different styles and talents.
- I wasn’t the guy who got straight As. I got As and Bs and a couple Cs.
- I know what my talents are, and at the end of the day I’m an actor who can dance.
- I’ve always been a person with patience, and I don’t like to force things.
- I actually got dared to audition for the dance team. All my track-and-field buddies dared me to audition, and I was one of the few guys who did it.
- I was asked to do a test commercial shoot for an Apple product which didn’t mean much to me at the time. Some music player that holds all your songs. Sounded cool to me and I never gave up an opportunity to work, especially with the possibility of it turning into a national commercial. Coolest job I did in that time.
- When I was younger, I was very scared to talk to people. To the point where my parents took me to a therapist because they thought something was wrong with me.
- I would be in a room full of people being loud and running around, and I’d be in the corner just playing with the wall. So I was very, very quiet, but when I really got into the arts, that opened me up.
