For anyone who knows me, there can be no doubt that acting, film or theatre, is one of my biggest passions in life. I have been acting ever since I was 3 years old and have worked my hardest throughout college to get a degree in theatre. I have auditioned for anything and everything that I have been aware of. I have even begun to write my own monologues.
Many people wonder why anyone in their right mind would want to do acting. I always get the response of "it's such a hard industry to break into" or "it's just so easy why would you bother?" Those comments just fuel me more. It's one of the hardest industries out there and I enjoy the challenge. Anyone who has not been a part of a movie or a play has absolutely no idea just how much work goes into it. However, this is not why I am writing this.
I saw a picture my friend posted on facebook showing the notes from a theatrical play:

That is why I act.
I don't do it for the money or the fame. There is no better feeling for me and no better euphoria than being on stage or on film doing what I love to do. I may not be the best at it, but I will always give it everything I have. More importantly, the movies and plays that touch people and make a difference in peoples' lives make it all worth while. When I read that note I was extremely touched and proud to be a part of this industry.
I don't act to seek money, fame, millions of fans, etc. I do it for the pure love of it. You get as much from it as you put in it. I want to make a difference in peoples' lives and I feel like this is best way for me to do that.
"Acting deal with very delicate emotions. It is not putting up a mask. Everytime an actor acts he does not hide; he exposes himself."-Rodney Dangerfield
