Tightness Gets In The Way

Once, During An Interview In Front Of My Wife, I Was Asked, "are You One Of Those Actors Who Brings Your Character Home? Do You Stay In Character?" I Said, "no, Not Really. I Don't Do That," And She Started Laughing. I Asked Her Why. She Said, "well, You Might Think You Don't Bring Characters Home, But You Do." So, While I Don't Feel Like A Character Is Lingering, It Probably Is.

One Of The Tough Things About Being An Actor, Probably The Hardest Thing, Is Getting Your Foot In The Door, And My Father Handled That For Me At A Very Early Age.

It's Like That Perfection Thing, Trying To Be That Thing You're Not. You Have To Feel That Discomfort And Not Try To Get Rid Of It. Accept That Aspect And Get Into It. Acknowledge Those Feelings And Let Them Be. You Are Who You Are.

A Large Part Of Acting Is Just Pretending. You Get To Work With These Other Great Make-believers, All Making Believe As Hard As They Can.

I Kept Dreaming Of A World I Thought I'd Never See, And Then....one Day....i Got In!
