I'm Pretty Much A Couch Potato.

I Want To Aspire To Something Like What Denzel Washington Does, Which Is Try To Find Scripts Written For White Actors - Or Jodie Foster, Who Reads Scripts For Male Actors.

My Experience Is That I Find Myself Having To Constantly Define Myself To Others, Day-in, Day-out. The Quote That's Helped Me The Most Through That Is From Toni Morrison's "beloved" Where She Says, "definitions Belong To The Definers, Not The Defined" - So I Find Myself Defining Myself For Other People Lest I Be Defined By Others And Stuck Into Some Box Where I Don't Particularly Belong.

It Was Just Expected That I Would Go To College. Both My Parents Are Teachers And They Tolerated Acting, But I Was Going To Go To A School Of Quality Or Bust. Which Made My Downshifting Back To Acting Afterward A Little Difficult.

My Rule Is You Want Someone Whos Got Both Feet On The Ground. An Ideal Girlfriend Might Be Someone Who Works In The Business And Can Understand What Youre Going Through But Is Not An Actor Themselves - Is Willing To Run Lines With You But When You Start Acting Crazy, They Throw Up Their Hands And Take You For What You Are And Be Accepting.

Everyone Has Their Challenges.
