"Actors
are some of the most driven, courageous people on the face of the
earth. They deal with more day-to-day rejection in one year than most
people do in a lifetime. Every day, actors face the financial challenge
of living a freelance lifestyle, the disrespect of people who think they
should get "real" jobs, and their own fear that
they'll never work again. Every day, they have to ignore the
possibility that the vision they have dedicated their lives to is a pipe
dream. With every role, they stretch themselves, emotionally and
physically, risking criticism and judgment. With every passing year,
many of them watch as the other people their age achieve the predictable
milestones of normal life-the car, the family, the house, the nest egg.
But they stay true to their dream, in spite of the sacrifices. Why?
Because actors are willing to give their entire lives to a moment-to
that line, that laugh, that gesture, or that interpretation that will
stir the audience's soul. Actors are beings who have tasted life's
nectar in that crystal moment when they poured out their creative spirit
and touched another's heart. In that instant, they were as close to
magic, God, and perfection as anyone could ever be. And in their own
hearts, they know that to dedicate oneself to that moment is worth a
thousand lifetimes."
