I'm small, sleek and fast, but I can be lost, dropped on the floor, stolen, or chucked out a window at a moment's notice! To have my brain power in my small size should be enough. I'm brainy and beautiful, but two years from now I'll be obsolete! ↗

What keeps this industry challenging as an actor is that you never know how something will turn out. The ups and downs are constant. You're never just smoothly sailing along.

Acceptable food rots while we are chased from bins behind restaurants, chased from sleeping on the street, chased from relieving ourselves unless we pay for food or gas, until finally we are so hungry, sleepless, smelly, constipated and beaten-down that we simply die of lack of will to live. ↗
