It didn't matter what you looked like. It was how you carried yourself, how you saw yourself.

I have a hard time visualizing anything, which is why I'm not a director, and which is why I try to work with ones I know have a strong idea in mind.
I'm unqualified for anything else. I'm barely qualified for this.
If you work in casting, it's sort of not cool to want to act. A lot of people think that casting directors are frustrated actors, but it wasn't true with any of the casting people I knew.
Most times when people pitch you as being perfect for a part. . . they don't look at you as an actor who can transform. A lot of people are so literal.
Never, be argued out of your soul, never be argued out of your honor, and never be argued into believing that soul and honor do not run a terrible risk if you limp into life with the load of a debt on your shoulders.

All I can say is hold on, and prepare.
Trust is the one thing that affects everything else you're doing. It's a performance multiplier which takes your trajectory upwards, for every activity you engage in, from strategy to execution.
