Like My Dad, I Have

Actors Should Act. Not Sell Perfume, Or Write Cookbooks.

It's Core To My Beliefs Now: Sometimes In Being Given A Challenge, You're Actually Being Given A Real Opportunity, And A Lot Of That Is How You Handle It. Do You Feel Sorry For Yourself Or Do You Think, All Right! I'll See What I Can Make Out Of This? I've Had That Over And Over. If I Hang Out In The Disappointment, I'll Just Be Disappointed All The Time.

That's The Thing That Always Stuck Out To Me - The Idea That Quantity Becomes Quality. I Always Took It To Mean If You Do Anything Enough, If You Keep Putting Effort In, Eventually Something Will Happen, With Or Without You. You Don't Have To Have Faith When You Start Out, You Just Have To Dedicate Yourself To Practice As If You Have It.

I Think There's More Pressure To Stand Out In A Way That Is Measurable Externally. The Fame Culture Is Definitely Way Worse And Weirder Than It Was When We Were In High School.
