regret real people
In real life, people end up doing things because it's convenient and it works for them. You don't get up every day regretting what you're doing.
dare values
Never take anything at face value. Dare to question and seek the truth.
eye storm trying
I rarely feel like I'm in chaos, but when I am, I usually [retreat] and try to find the eye of the storm; if I'm still and listen and don't engage, maybe the chaos will subside.
people expectations kind
When you're the lead and on most of the call sheets, some people have expectations of you and whether you like it or not, you kind of set the tone.
couple people strange
Some people get divorced, they leave the person for a couple of years, then they remarry. Relationships are very, very strange.
mother dream proud
My mother wanted to be an actress. She wanted to follow her dreams and she never really got a chance to do that. I feel like I'm following her dream in a way. She's proud of me for doing what I wanted to do, but at the same time, I'm kind of taking up where she left off.
college people
I met some people in college and I kept cracking away until someone pointed me in the right direction.
progress realizing
Auditions are great, and you definitely want to continue to make progress as an actor, you want to continue to see some advancement in your career. But when you get out there, you don't realize how many auditions you have to go on before you actually get work.
world enough scene
When you're casting, you get a page or two - just enough to do the scene. Now that you're in the world, you get the whole script.
work-out
If things are not working out, they just stop going forward.
As an actor, you learn, every time you work.
character emotion dialogue
Dialogue is not always the best way to show emotion, to show your thought process, or to reveal yourself, as a character.
men women-want
A lot of times in life, women want to talk, but men don't want to listen, and if they do want to listen, they turn it back to themselves.
feelings
It's hard to articulate what everybody else is feeling.
