writing winning thinking
There's been no nepotism in my acting artistic life, but I think it's been pretty clear in my writing life. I knew what a pantoum was at age 11 - I knew form - therefore I would win the poetry contest. But I also realized that I would never be a great writer.
fun character interesting
Sometimes the characters that I'm most resistant to are the ones that I find the most satisfying to play, because you have to dig deeper and you have to find different parts of yourself that are not necessarily the first thing you access and that's fun and interesting.
character
You have to find something you relate to in every character.
You never know what's going to happen, so you just continue with your head down and never expect things to start being handed to you.
thinking winning people
I think that it's a myth that there's one job that makes your whole career, unless you're winning an Oscar. But even that doesn't work for some people.
fighting rejected
Offers come up, but I'm still fighting for jobs and auditioning and being rejected.
thinking people
We live in a time where improv is king and people love improv, and I think there's a time and a place for that and people who are really good at structuring improv.
art real parent
Both of my parents were incredibly supportive of me being in any arts, because they were both in the arts. They weren't the typical story of, "Oh, get a real job. You need to make money." They basically said, "Yup, be an artist. You'll be broke your whole life but you'll be happy."
thinking trying problem
There are problems everywhere, of course, but you can only see those certain problems when you reach a certain level. So I try to think of those problems as, "This is a sign that I'm having success, that I'm also having issues with this."
mother daughter thinking
There's innate competition, I think, between mothers and daughters - mine no more so than anyone else.
girl children different
If I had a child and she was a girl, I'd hope she'd do something different from me.
acting
Acting was something I wanted to work at and put the time into.
thinking artist our-family
I think it's very hard to go into the same business as your family when you're an artist.
class acting fool
What you learn in any acting class is how to make a fool of yourself and enjoy things and get out of your head.
