Today is packed! I'm getting ready to go to an audition as I type this, then I'm participating in Meals for Monologues this afternoon (if you're an actor, you should sign up. If not, you can at least donate food), and I have a callback this evening!

For the characters I get to play today, the first two are both considerably unstable, and the third one is in a considerably unstable situation. I'm noticing a trend...

"...you experience a lot more pain than normal people, your mom dies, your dad dies, your boyfriend chucks you, you live in the street, and you're really going through these emotions. You're trying to know what it feels like to watch a man die in front of you, as if you've really lived it. Once that division is gone, it gets blurry, you look back at a shoot and think, was I really that sad because in the film my boyfriend didn't like me -- or was it something else, something real?" - Maggie Cheung
