Every working mom I know is constantly walking some kind of a tightrope of guilt.

Learning to shoot firearms to me is a little like driving stick - it seems like a decent skill to have.

You don't take a job in acting at all expecting 25 years in and a pension.

Your work isn't just to learn and say the lines. Your work is to figure out what the chatter in your brain is, that's going on under the lines. It doesn't matter whether you're speaking or not speaking because your mind is working the way your character's mind would work.
