One of my favourite things about acting is we have to make something that isn’t real feel authentic.
You don’t do that by being really good at lying, by the way. You do that by being really good at being real.
Actors aren’t liars, they’re truth tellers.
I’m amazed at how authenticity cuts through. I watch a video of a thought leader I really respect and I can feel their words, I understand them not from their words, but the heart behind the words.
Authenticity cuts through. We can get caught up in trying to make things slick or perfect but at the end of it all, if your intentions are pure and in congruence with what you’re trying to do. It’ll come through.
It’s the great gift us humans have. We don’t need you to be perfect, we can feel you.
We’re made of blood and bones and our hearts are running all the time.
We can feel you.
