I kind of fell backwards into acting. I was studying to be a high school teacher. I look now and I understand completely, or actually barely, how much work it is to be a teacher. It's an incredible amount of work.
Back in those days intimidation was the greatest tool the drill instructor had. Without that tool, he would not have had control.
When I'm trusting and being myself as fully as possible, everything in my life reflects this by falling into place easily, often miraculously.
