THE PATH

Finally, there are no more acting books to be written. Yes, one can investigate yet another approach, but that was never the problem. The problem and the solution have always laid with the person walking the path, and it’s been more of a question of the persistency of the traveler, his surefootedness, his love for walking on the path, whatever the path may be.

HOME

Visiting a museum can gauge your relationship to your own artistry. If you feel completely uncomfortable, if these painting and sculptures push you away because you are not good enough to belong to their world (and who wants to be a part of this world anyway), then you are standing in the doorway of the house of art. Come on in, you feeling that you don’t belong, yet you’re here, is a sure sign that this is your home.

A NEW EMPLOYER

WHY ACT

Wanting to be seen and heard is often confused with a desire to act. Whenever people who JUST want to be seen and heard discover that acting is in the final analysis storytelling, they opt out and choose to be seen and heard in other, less demanding or rewarding ways. The moral? Figure out why you’re calling yourself an actor – or it ain’t worth it.
