Need a little inspiration on down days?
Sometimes, I am struck with the reality that there is nothing new under the sun. My dreams, and yours are likely very similar. What actors set out to do, what they hope to become, all make us a part of an exclusive, creative and enthusiastic club. It’s been many years since I first came to Hollywood all dewey and full of dreams. I tend to get a little jaded after all these years, which is why it’s always a pleasure to teach talented young people. They remind me of why I came here, and what I intended, against all odds, to do.
I now know that if I had not followed my dreams and my heart, I would probably still be happy somewhere, but I would never have known if I could have “done it.” So I encourage you all to try. Be realistic, don’t put yourself in want or in danger. Don’t impose on others or take advantage elsewhere, but if it is possible to give yourself a chance to realize what you dream and desire, you should do so.
Others have already said it so much better than I can…so:
‘Whatever you can dream you can do…begin it! Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.’
Johann von Goethe
