I Hate Actors



From my screenwriting class notes...

I've had roles that I've refused to take at first, because they were too expensive. . . I knew they would cost me too much emotionally to perform -and-and-and live out the rest of my life. Eventually, I would talk myself, or be talked into taking the role, and it ends up being so worth it...

...But taking care of yourself really helps.

I hate actors because they are trained to eliminate their superego, the part of our psyche that enables us to act like adults. They are man and woman-children. They are utterly carefree and irresponsible. They are everything I wish I could be, and everything I'm glad I'm not. Lucky fuckers!
