Failure's hard. There's no way around. Bombing on stage never feels great. You feel judged, you feel alone. But then when your performance works, it's transcendent.

Creepy people do the things that decent people want to do, but have decided are not a great idea.

I like films that are so funny, dramatic and lifelike simultaneously, that you are laughing and cringing simultaneously all throughout the film.

I couldn't recommend more that people put themselves in a situation where they can see a lot of work that they admire, and for free.
