Our everyday cares, making a living, the crazy rat race of life, often make us forget the value of a good deed.

In fact, we almost have to be reminded of the fact that goodness is there inside us.

I'm from a working-class family. We didn't have a lot, but we had the arts. You're talking to a guy who is making a living at doing what he loves doing - acting, singing and dancing.
