ON ACTING: ...and 'support'!

'A' wrote me:

"what advice would you give to some one who's life is acting and they have so much passion but no one supports her. and her mom wont give her money for acting but she needs acting this is what she really wants."

I wrote back:

Sometimes passion must support itself. In our lives we can't always expect that loved ones will automatically support us with money or encouragement. My mother didn't support my acting when I was young and starting out; so I went out and supported my own passion. (She finally supported and appladed what I did; probably even more so because I had gone out and done it on my own!)

True belief requires one true friend: yourself.

Good luck.
