Where you are is where it's at.... Don't ever give up & don't ever give in.
As a matter of fact, I rarely ever play myself.
But when I was seven or eight, I did my first little piece of acting.
Theres a great deal of attention paid and books written about this change of life in a woman, and really very little written about a mans change of life.
I'm a firm believer in absolute honesty.
When I closed in "King Lear" I went into a period of depression for about three weeks, and every actor I've talked to who's ever played a major, major Shakespeare role has done this.
