becomes entertainment life public sort truly
Having one's image, and effectively, life, democratized, dehumanizes and sometimes objectifies it into an entertainment product. What sort of valuation of the ego would one have once you've let it been preyed upon by the public for years and years? Perhaps, it becomes truly just skin and bones.
audience classes famous grammar loved morning moving recognized saturday sent since truly
Ever since my mother sent me to Saturday morning grammar classes when I was 7, I wanted to become a famous actor. I loved the idea of captivating an audience and moving them truly through performance, but more importantly being recognized and heavily lauded for that talent.
gravitate
The lifestyle that comes with being an actor in a successful TV show isn't something I gravitate toward.
family known slightly
I find it slightly uncomfortable to see my face on a bus or a poster. I like just being known by my friends and family.
admiration base believe certain communal good ideas practices publicly society universal virtue
I believe that communal admiration of individuals is healthy for society. It facilitates, in one way, the base of our universal standard, morals, but also publicly espouses the virtue of certain practices that are kind of like 'inherently good' in some kind of ideas of what the good is.
anyone hard
I've never seen anyone die. It's hard to imagine what it would be like.
cheque corny happiness mature naive pay
I'm happy to sacrifice a big pay cheque for my happiness, if that's not too corny a thing to say. It's probably more naive than mature to say that, maybe, but that's how I feel.
age since stopped
I've been acting since age 8. I just stopped enjoying it as much as I used to.
ancient hebrew lecturer masters philosophy
I'd like to be an academic, a philosophy lecturer if possible. I'd do a Masters in Ancient Hebrew maybe, and a Ph.D. hopefully, if I get in.
gone suit
I wanted to be an academic when I was 19 or 20. But, I've gone off that idea. The lifestyle is kind of lonely and isolated. I don't think that would suit me.
years ego skins
Having ones image, and effectively, life, democratized, dehumanizes and sometimes objectifies it into an entertainment product. What sort of valuation of the ego would one have once youve let it been preyed upon by the public for years and years? Perhaps, it becomes truly just skin and bones.
arrogance emotion
Arrogance is a weird emotion to take on, but you have to do it.
hate thinking guy
I think audiences will always like bad guys who kill for no apparent reason. We just like to hate them.
everyday kind fame
Celebrities become excluded from everyday life, kind of in exile in an echelon that is deemed better, anyway: Life of celebrity, all the fame and glamor.
