When I made my way across childhood to the tinny AM radio, it was dark. Lights out. I listened intently. More intently than I ever had before.

Whatever it is, if you draw, you paint, you're a carpenter, you play football, the more you do it, you're a journalist, the more stories you write, the more people you interview and navigate your way through these different personalities to get your story, the better you're going to get at it. Acting's no different. ↗

It's really interesting to go back to '93 or '94 and listen to that music, like the I'll Lead You Home record. ↗
