Come to Terms With Your Conscience.

The grade three teacher said, ‘You’re only fooling yourself Johnny.’

If you set out to do something – be an actor, go to an audition, act in an indy film, help a colleague do a self-tape – you have to have a clear conscience.

Think if you’re doing what you want or doing what is trendy.

In the morning when you wake up – that’s the time to come to terms with your conscience. Only you can do that.

Talk is cheap.

The harsh winds of life and the movie industry both will wipe you out unless you’ve really thought it through.

How you relate to your agent. How you do your prep. How you conduct yourself with your colleagues. How you critique auditions. How you see the future.

Learn the difference between having a clear conscience and a cloudy one.

It requires thinking.

Often help from a mentor or coach to discuss the issues objectively can help organize your mind and clarify your thinking.

Approaching the work seriously will make you a better actor.
