Acting is the use of human experience with talent added.
Get the knack of getting people to help you and also pitch in yourself.
Get up early in the morning before everybody has breathed up all the good air.
I think there is one smashing rule: never face the facts.
If you believe, then you hang on. If you believe, it means you've got imagination, you don't need stuff thrown out on a blueprint, and don't face facts-what can stop you? If I don't make it today, I'll come in tomorrow.
Your first big trouble can be a bonanza if you live through it. Get through the first trouble, and you'll probably make it through the next one.
