Don't pursue a role, LIVE that role. Like my sister told me, back when I confessed I wanted to be a filmmaker. "Then BE a filmmaker," she said. "That's what I'm saying: I wanna be.". And that's when she gave me the million dollar advice: "No - BE a filmmaker. You say you wanna be; just BE a filmmaker. Think every thought AS a filmmaker. Don't pine for it or pursue it; BE it. You ARE a filmmaker; you just haven't made a film yet." And it sounded artsy-fartsy as fuck, but it was CRAZY useful advice.
