“Have something in your life that’s more important to you than acting. Something that’s creative. Something that gives you a goal …that doesn’t depend on somebody calling you up and hiring you. Write! If you want to play a role, produce it for yourself…You’re in charge of your own creative life.” -John Lithgow
You’re in charge of your own creative life and your happiness within it. Not anyone else. Isn’t it cool and empowering to know this?
So take charge!
Go make your art.
P.S. – An anchor project is a great way to start.
