Actors Should Act. Not Sell Perfume, Or

You May Be Sensitive Inside, But What I See On The Outside Is A Soldier.

I Personally Was Driven To Be An Actor For The Love Of Telling A Story. It Was Very Closely Linked To Being A Reader As A Kid And Being Transported By Literature And Art. It Had Nothing - Zero - To Do With Anything Resembling Fame.

I Would Rather Be A Person Who Struggled There Than Someone Who Had A Great, Easy Time And Then Got Out In The World And Was Like, "wait A Minute, I Didn't Get Voted Class President? What's Going On?" You Know, "popular" Doesn't Necessarily Correlate To Anything. "popular" Still Has To Get Up At 7:00 In The Morning And Go To Work And Do Something Worthy Too. There's No Edge, Really, That You Get From Being Whatever Was Popular In School.

My Biggest Goal Was - I Thought, God, If I Could Just Be A Rep Company Member At The Arena Stage In Washington, D. C. And Get To Play A Bunch Of Parts In A Year! And Now In My Work Everything Is About Promoting It. It's Not About The Doing Of It! Everything Is: You Have To Sell It, And They Ask You To Tweet About It Or Do Photo Shoots, Even For The Smallest Job. There's An Imbalance In Terms Of What Is Actually Gratifying. The Stuff That Is Gratifying Is, Like I Said, The Day Of Work And The Doing Of It.

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