In moments of doubt, when your thoughts, feelings, and imagination are silent, remember ‘if.’

It’s an absurd thing to do, being someone else. Wearing someone else’s clothes, saying someone else’s words, it’s ridiculous. It makes no sense whatsoever. Unless it’s wonderful.

If you are depressed you are living in the past.
If you are anxious you are living in the future.
If you are at peace you are living in the present.

Someone said to Picasso ‘Can you explain the painting?’ And he answered, ‘If I could explain it, I would be a writer.’ He’s saying ‘I painted it. YOU interpret it.’

When you were on stage, you could be absolutely open about your emotions and indulge them and express yourself in a way that - in real life - I wasn’t doing.

Try and understand what part you have to play in the world in which you live. There’s more to life than you know and it’s all happening out there. Discover what part you can play and then go for it.

I do love acting, but maybe there’ll come a time when I’ll think, I can’t be doing this for the rest of my life. I have to be able to come home and be happy with who I am and my family and all that. I know I need more than just my job. If you want to let your career run your life then fine, but just stay single. If you commit your life to someone else, then you can’t let the job control you.
