HELL

It’s been said that “Hell is other people.” And that may be true. But when we train to act and learn to experience other people, we see that it’s far more interesting to get in touch with their version of hell rather than constantly revisiting our own.

CHOICES

There comes a time when every artist comes face to face with what is. And whatever this confrontation, dilemma, or paradox may be – it is always reducible to a choice between the temporary and the eternal.

WHY WE DO IT

At some point we put down the egoic need to be seen and heard and loved, and we fall in love with character, the moment, style, or whatever our imaginations present to us. This is when we become actors.

HUMILITY

When we are good at what we do in front of the camera, we pay an overwhelming amount of attention to our creative shortcomings. It is rare that we even consider our accomplishments, our resilience, and our skill. I suppose it is a part of what drives us to excel at what we love – could it also be, I wonder, that subconsciously we are convinced that artistic excellence will buy us a little piece of immortality?
