about my goal...

Recently, a very nice man asked me if my goal was to go to New York. I told him no, I actually picked DC to be my theatre community. Then he asked if my goal was to be on the Big Screen. I managed to deflect that one, too, but...

I get some form of these questions a LOT. I answer them honestly but with patience, because all of these people are well-meaning and there is almost no education out there regarding the actual life of an actor. How are people to know?

The thing about my goal is...and I write all of the following gently, honestly, not in an aggressive or a judgmental way...the thing about my goal is, I've actually attained it.

I *am* an actor.
I am not aspiring.
I am not awaiting a big break.
I am a living, breathing, working-&-not-working ACTOR.

My goal is perpetual. I aim to do good work that is always growing in depth, in thought, in ease, in love. And to be able to do more & more of it.

I will not "make it one day." I am constantly being made.
