"I end up doing roles where I’m afraid I’m going to
embarrass myself or fail. But then it gives you that extra
hit of adrenaline, and you have to step up your game."

"You know, it's recently come into focus for me why I want
to be an actor: It's because of the connection I feel to people."

"I have always known I wanted to be an actress, but
my New York experience made me realize that my desire
had nothing to do with becoming famous or making money,
I was interested in exploring the human soul, its complexity,
I wanted to work to understand something about life and myself.
Being an actress means being in another person's shoes and
therefore understanding what the person whose role you play feels;
but also connecting with other human beings, as a mark of
profound professional intimacy, that often touches the soul."

"Every character I play I feel is like a woman I got to meet
and learn from getting to hang out with. I see them as their
own people. So I think I take something away from everything."

I took the list out of the OP, is everyone ok with it? Lists don't seem like a big deal these days.

I need to revamp our OP, there's a lot stuff to add. Will do it ASAP!

Fabulous

TFTNT!

Musidora · 01-10-2016, 12:59 PM

You're welcome!

OP updated.

Does anyone know where the first gifset is from? I hate using things without crediting the artist so if we can't find out who made it, I'm gonna have to remove it.

ina_am · 01-10-2016, 01:02 PM

Let me check, I might have it saved somewhere in tumblr

Musidora · 01-10-2016, 01:03 PM

Thanks bb! I'm checking my likes as well to see if I can find it.

ina_am · 01-10-2016, 01:04 PM

Does tumblr work for you? I get an error message

Musidora · 01-10-2016, 01:09 PM

It's working now.

ina_am · 01-10-2016, 01:15 PM

I still have the error message

Musidora · 01-10-2016, 03:32 PM

Bummer

I had the feeling you'd be the one to find it, Thirza.

Thank you for the link.

Thank you, Thirza

You're welcome

I don’t want to repeat something I’ve done before, and I don’t want to be a prop in someone else’s story.

I love this so much: "I don’t want to be a prop in someone else’s story"

I smell a thread title there.
