#authenticity

I often wrangle with myself as an actor, and wrestle with the process. In striving for authenticity I often have the feeling I am falling short. ↗

Don't be afraid to be authentic, show up in the world as you truly are. Be as you mean to be, but be light with it. Love it, give it, share it, laugh at it, walk everywhere with it. Be in the world but not OF it. ↗

When calling for authenticity, we need to take seriously the brokenness and sinfulness of the human heart. If to be authentic means to be who we really are or to express what we really feel, then in most cases I’m going to vote for hypocrisy. Our prisons are filled with men and women who acted on their feelings and impulses. If authenticity is about being true to yourself, these individuals should be our models of inspiration. ↗

I think that's because believable action is based on authenticity, and accuracy is very important to me. I always spend time researching my novels, exploring the customs and attitudes of the county I'm using for their setting. ↗
