I think going back to school, studying as much as you can, especially literature and close reading some of the most beautiful works. You can always apply that to acting.

I would much rather sit, dimmed by inattention, and study the atmosphere and the silence and dance between people, but often times I’m not offered this privilege. The necessity for isolation, and the striving for popularity is the only contradiction I find in being a writer and an actress.
