In Acting Class, You're Trained To Express

I Grew Up In An Apolitical Household. I Never Left The Country. When I Became An Adult, I Started Traveling And Became Interested In Politics, And I Probably Talked About Things In A Silly, Ignorant Way.

Acting Is A Weird, Kind Of Alienating Job Because You're In An Isolated Place. Even If You're Working With A Lot Of Other People, You're Kind Of Alienated. Actors Say That A Lot, And I Kind Of Find That To Be True.

I Feel Things Can Always Be Funny, But That's Probably Because I Have Some Kind Of Leftover Childhood Need To Make People Laugh. For Somebody Like Me, That's The Thing You Excel At.

Acting Is Kind Of Difficult To Intellectualize - It's A Far More Visceral Experience. It's Really Hard To Be Able To Think About And Then Employ These Kind Of Esoteric Notions Of This Person's Backstory And Try To Weave It In Somehow. It's Just Kind Of Impossible.

I Meet People Who Are In Movies, And The Stuff That They Write Is Terrible, But Nobody Tells Them That Because They're Famous. So I Worry That My Stuff Might Be Like That, Too.
