There are cases when I can make myself better off by restricting my future choices and commit myself to a specific course of action.
I try to only commit myself to things that I think I can accomplish and commit myself to 100 percent. I try not to bite off more than I can chew.
I'm an actor, but it sort of has to feel serious on a different level. I have to be happy with the choices I make now; it can't just be in hopes of creating a better future for myself. It has to bring me fulfillment. I have to find a way to be happy today.
I've had to wean myself away to make sure that any choices I make are grounded in myself rather than the seeking of approval.
It's my job to really commit myself to the material and the project and be proud of what I've done, and I am in most cases.
When you present people with things from the heart and from the soul, they make better choices: They make better choices about their bodies, they make better choices about their partners, they make better choices about the environment.
But when there were certain moments or scenes that required a very specific nuance or performance, I myself would act out the scene or the sequence and that would inspire the actors. Of course, I can't really express emotions on camera, but I was very active in showing a certain action or a blocking for an actor. I would also participate in certain stunts myself and because of that, I would get bruises or cuts on my knees and elbows.
If I do commit myself to something, I will commit myself 100 percent.
After directing awhile, you get an instinct about it, but you have to be able to trust your own feelings. Invariably, two-thirds of the way through a film, you say, "Jeezus, is this a pile of crap! What did I ever see in it in the first place?" You have to shut off your brain and forge ahead, because by that time you're getting so brainwashed. Once I commit myself to a film I commit myself to that ending, whatever the motivations and conclusions are.
I started out doing multiple characters from day one, when I got my fist job in 'Dumbo's Circus.' I'm used to getting in an argument with myself, throwing myself off a cliff, patching myself up and brushing myself off with an arm around my shoulder.
In the future, I'd like to continue being honest with myself and admit when I'd be better off asking someone else to illustrate my writing.
I sing to myself more than anything. I'm always chastising myself, telling myself to be better, or comforting myself.
If I went to UNC, I'm sure I would find a way to make myself better, make things harder, challenge myself. It's what the player puts into it.
I always told myself I was more than a football player, so every off season, I pushed myself to go outside the box and get a little bit better off the field. I dabbled in many business adventures to gain more real world experience.
If I commit suicide, it will not be to destroy myself but to put myself back together again.
My supplements are similar to my training - I always commit to being a better version of myself.
My brain has a weird way of turning pressure into other things. I make a point to myself of shrugging it off - of going the other way and doing something for myself, wanting to do something better. For example, I know that I could have made 'Lonerism 2.0' in a day, but it wouldn't have satisfied me.
