Acting, at its core, is a radical form of love—the expression of the soul into physical reality.

The goal of every role is to drop the mask and bare our raw vulnerability to the audience. Our true joy, our true pain, our true good, and our true darkness: all of it must be given away at the risk of judgment.

The message to those who watch is clear: 'You are not alone. You are a precious soul. And you don’t have to hide in the dark anymore.'

That is the sacrifice an actor must make every day, in every shot, of every scene.
