The Good Immigrant

We are happy to change and adapt even something so fundamentally important to us as language in order to start sinking into our new homes.

[...] that's what acting is. It's about telling people's stories as honestly and faithfully as we possibly can. It's being entrusted with a person and showing them to the world. [...] it's about the people we represent and making sure their tales are told.

One of the first steps to becoming an actor, after the realisation that people will always ask if you've been in anything they might've seen, is telling yourself it's okay to want to be other people. It's not that you don't want to be you, it's that you also enjoy not being you, and that's fine.

Whatever shade you are, bring your light, bring your colour, bring your music and your books, your stories and your histories, and climb abroad. United as a people we are a million majestic colours, together we are a glorious stained-glass window. We are building a cathedral of otherness, brick by brick and book by book.
