But not even the art or craft of acting.
All Ive truly ever [known] was the hustle.
The hustle, the grind, sprinkled occassionally [sic] with the odd acting job.
Perhaps a line or two to TVs Dr. House Sorry(thats it.
That was my line.
Genius), she wrote.
We survived off the crumbs, she continued.
We filled our cup with the possibility; our mugs with delusion.
Our plates were empty, but a golden goose hung over our heads.
Today might be the day.Today might be the day I reach the golden goose.
My face was on the billboards I longed for 20 plus years.
I was directed by George Clooney for godsakes.
This by all definitions is the golden goose.
But that didnt stop the nagging dissatisfaction, she said.
For years I silenced the voice in my head, begging me to walk away.
The voice, the constant gnawing.
Not because of the acting itself.
But because of the gauntlet I had to run to reach the acting.
We lose perspective on our own machine, because we are convinced we need another.
