Quote
1 There are so many ‘accepted’ criteria at least for defining your success in Los Angeles. I think you have to just establish your own criteria for yourself before you enter the town or shortly thereafter. It has to be about your personal happiness. What is is that you like about yourself that you would like to hold on to? Then be really principled about holding on to it.
2 [Acting is] not to promote yourself or exercise your expertise or demonstrate your acting knowledge and skill; it’s to be a vessel for the information that that character has to give up.
