If in a bad (sad, sour, or angry) mood, I pop this movie in and know I will feel better once the film wraps up:

Leaving shows when I could have stayed.
The key to my personal well-being is:
Currently, cold water swimming.
What do you believe to be the greatest gift to offer one another?
Your time and your focus.
Any advice for those wanting to become actors &/or live their best lives?
I have always struggled with people telling me to believe in myself. Because the whole nature of the job is relying on others believing you and in you. But if something age has taught me, it is to trust yourself and the situations you find yourself in. I have suffered in the past that I often feel like I don’t belong and I talk myself out of opportunities. But I got myself (out) there (in the end) ,so why did I then not believe?
I guess what I’m saying is you are worthy of the opportunities that present themselves. So embrace them wholeheartedly.
Any last words?
I think I just said it. X
