- Understanding who you are as a person, your authentic self, will definitely help you tap into your strengths as a performer (and you can further hone them by getting training and feedback). Your performance ability is directly proportional to your perspective. The best way to build perspective, is to get out of your comfort zone. Live your life, learn new things, gain new insights.
- There are no right answers in acting to begin with. But you can make sure you don't choose poorly. The classes, coaching, workshops, etc. those all teach you how to walk. And as long as you know how to walk, you can take any path you want to.
- Your acting theories have got a long way to go when you measure them up against my common sense. But you're doing it aren't you? You're being cast, you're getting work. Having a way that works for you, is better than having the so-called right way.
- Having knowledge on something is not the same thing as actually being able to apply it. Theorizing about acting is useless if it can't be put into practice, and knowing about acting techniques is pointless if you can't utilize them yourself.
