LOVE IT

To every frightened actor I want to say, fall in love with your FEAR. She will be with you until your dying day. She is your worst enemy and your greatest ally. She will be by your side through victory and defeat, through failure and great success. So concern yourself with focus, movement, and deeds that echo in eternity.

GOD

Yes, God exists, or god exists – how could he not? Or she, or it?
All artists are deeply spiritual beings, whether they care to admit it or not.

PLAYING

It is always good to play.

COMMITMENT

The fully committed actor engages in a primal pursuit, much like that of food, shelter, and sex. It is a pursuit that reduces its participant to a no longer reducible level of existence that is as close as we are going to get to lasting, authentic meaning in our lives.

MY FAVORITE SHOP

My favorite shop in all of Bucharest? A hair salon named, drum roll if you would, EGOIST. It is a wonderful name for any sort of business, because for a second I thought, “I should go in there, they know about me.”

WASTED TALENT

The greatest tragedy is wasted talent.

CHOICES, CHOICES...

Often we feel fraudulent when we step into our own authentic lives, the clothes seem like someone else’s, the words not quite our own, and our actions decidedly counterfeit. It feels far more familiar to keep reaffirming the same Godless universe; to cling desperately to our self imposed cycle of reanimated childhood trauma. Of these two identities, we know that the latter is a falsehood and the former is the real deal, but given that it’s easier and perhaps more creatively satisfying to believe a fantasy than the plain old truth, we’re in deep trouble.
