Everyone doubts themselves. It's just a matter of admitting it or not.

My mother and father have also raised five boys so they know there's only so much that can be controlled.

I read mostly historical fiction - lots of stuff set in ancient Rome and ancient Greece. I also liked sci-fi and fantasy: David Gemmell, Raymond E. Feist. It's a nice escape from the world. As much as I do love real-life stories, they can often make you hurt in a way I'd rather not hurt.

If I spend all my time being upset about having lost a job, then the next however many auditions I have are going to be useless.

So as you're going through the process, you get excited and put your all into it. But you don't get carried away, because until you do the thing, nothing hasn't happened yet. The rest is just talk.

Not every job is a good job.

I'm training two-and-a-half hours a day, pushing my body beyond its normal limits, putting on a lot of muscle mass and just making myself look like Superman.
