In acting, you’re simply at the mercy of other people’s perception of you. It can be a terrifying feeling. The rewards can be great, but there is no steady happiness in this business. There are peaks of joy and valleys of gloom. As you get older, you forget that it was an adventure at one time, that you were able to take the falls. You think ‘I know I’m good. I’ve had it proven. Then why is it not working now?’ You feel you can’t take the falls. You say to yourself, ‘Gee, I need this. This is all I can do in life.’

The truth…
