There is never a wrong or right answer. As actors, we often attempt to look for the ‘correct’ answer to get to our final product. Instead, let’s enjoy the journey leading up to the final product. It’s more fun that way.

  • "One of the most important keys to acting is curiosity. I am curious to the point of being nosy. What that means is you want to devour lives. You’re eager to put on their shoes and wear their clothes and have them become a part of you.”

    Meryl Streep

  • "Your acting will not be good until it is only yours. That’s true of music, acting, anything creative. You work until finally nobody is acting like you.”
