As actors, we examine and live through a myriad of situations including love, killing, having a baby, loosing a child, ending a marriage, and countless more situations. To have an insight to these life changing events, you will have to imagine situations in your own life that could make you justify or understand how you would feel to live through them. That's not an easy task.When preparing to tell these life or death stories, you are calling upon the crevices of your soul. You are shaking out dust from the primal places in you most people hope to hide from and never unearth. Making friends with your demons is not a task for the meek, it is a calling for the warriors who grace our stages and screens.
Living through these lives of characters, highs and lows, requires support from loved ones. If you are lucky enough to find that support in your family, cherish it and call upon them often. If not, cultivate your garden of friends. These people who believe in you will be your touchstone.
When putting on the paint of a warrior, remember you fight for the right of all humanity to have feelings, express big emotions, and to keep living life to the fullest. You, my friend, are an inspiration for others to LIVE.
Be bold!
