SEEMS to me that this business, for actors anyway, is not so MUCH about whether or not you do GOOD work. It's about whether or not you GET the chance to do good work.
If you love something - and there are THINGS that I love - you do WANT more and more and more of it, but that's not the way to produce GOOD work. So as an author, I need to WRITE what I need to write.
I don't think we should DISCRIMINATE against an organization or congregation because they're religious, if they're doing good work. But GOVERNMENT can't subsidize proselytizing or WORSHIP or religious ACTIVITY. It can't.
We should know that faith is a GIFT of God, and that it MAY not be given to men, except it be graciously. Thus, INDEED, all the GOOD which we have is of God; and accordingly, when God rewardeth a good work of man, he crowneth his own gift.
You just have to keep TRYING to do good work, and hope that it leads to more good work. I want to look BACK on my career and be proud of the work, and be proud that I tried everything. YES, I want to look back and KNOW that I was terrible at a variety of things.
