It is not in the power of even the most crafty dissimulation to conceal love long where it really is nor to counterfeit it long where it is not.
Everything starts and ends with the song and working with writers and really learning their process and craft was an invaluable experience.
I spent a lot of years just learning my craft and falling down in front of the camera.
That first year at Universal was a big blur and naturally I thought they were wasting me. I didn't realize at the time that I was learning my craft and acting more easily in front of the camera.
I have two different categories of favorite films. One is the emotional favorites which means these are generally films that I saw when I was a kid anything you see in your formative years is more powerful because it really stays with you forever. The second category is films that I saw while I was learning the craft of motion pictures.
And later I thought I can't think how anyone can become a director without learning the craft of cinematography.
I'm still learning my craft.
You should put time into learning your craft. It seems like people want success so quickly way before they're ready.
My advice to an aspiring actor would be to never stop learning or working for what you want. Nothing comes easy ever if you want something you have to work for it. By working for it I mean work on your craft learn from people who have something to teach. It's just like anything else practice makes perfect.
It helps immerse yourself in what you potentially want to do. Being involved learning firsthand and observing the craft and absorbing all you can makes it easier to define what you want. It will also ultimately make you a better Chef. Culinary school or even a single class is a great bet too.
