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

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.

If I Hang Out In The Disappointment, I'll Just Be Disappointed All The Time.

I Was Always Torn Between Wanting Whatever I Pictured As A Typical High School Experience And That Being Just A Part I Wanted To Play. I've Written About This, But One Of Those Typical High School Experiences Was Drill Team. Like, I Just Really Wanted To Wear A Uniform And Get On The Bus And Be Part Of This Group. As An Only Child, The Idea Of Blending In - And Literally Everyone Being In Sync And Not Standing Out At All - Felt Like Kind Of A Fun Family Thing.

Like My Dad, I Have A Christmas Party Most Years. I Like To Celebrate And See As Many People As Possible.
