Our industry is currently experiencing an incredibly challenging time. Do you have any recommendations for others of how to stay hopeful and creative during this time?
Write. Anything and everything. Read. And practice by watching great acting. Then copy it. Write a list of what you want to do when you finish. How do you get there? Be kind to yourself. Despite all its shams, drudgeries and broken dreams, it’s still a beautiful world.
