Quote of the day

Three elements go to make up an idea. The first is its intrinsic quality as a feeling. The second is the energy with which it affects other ideas, an energy which is infinite in the here-and-nowness of immediate sensation, finite and relative in the recency of the past.

My first professional audition - god, I've never told anybody about this - was for a test commercial, I think it was for Xbox.

I can think of a handful of auditions where the director has literally said, "That is the opposite of what I think. " But it's really good to be honest and have that dialogue. I don't think you should be criticized though.
