Stress and anxiety cause our brains to release chemicals that put lines in our faces and tear us down emotionally and spiritually.
One of the things I like to do is people's hearts are on their sleeve, whether it's a good or a bad heart.
Write. Write every day. Write honestly. Write something that doesn’t exist, and you wish did. Read. Learn. Study. Watch people. Listen to what they say, listen to how they say it and listen to what they do not say. Surprise yourself. Scare yourself.
The trick is not caring what EVERYBODY thinks of you and just caring about what the RIGHT people think of you.
This is something I learned when I was working at a newspaper: when you put something on paper, whether it's words or pictures, and it's staring back at the reader, they are now alone in the room with them for as long as it takes them to turn the page. Whereas on television, the images fly by.
If you're miserable and someone flies by looking like they have everything in the whole world and it's never going to be you, that's tough to deal with.
Artists are not your art monkeys. They are your collaborators. They should be given all due consideration to follow their journey.
Acting is a specific discipline. Just because you can sing doesn't mean you have the sensitivities of being an actor.
Love draws forth love.
The mere assemblage of peace loving people to interchange convincing reasons for their common faith, mere exhortation and argument to the public in favor of peace in general fall short of the mark.
Remember the mind is your best muscle. . . BIG ARMS can move rocks, but BIG WORDS can move mountains. . . Ride the brain train for success.
