I know some of it sounds a little bit ridiculous... but it's possible. All of it is possible. I realized that tonight. (OH! By the way, I'm in L.A. We saw Next to Normal tonight.) I noticed, as I watched the actors, that I have the potential to be as good as any of those actors or actresses on that stage. And I realized that I would give anything to be on a stage like that.
And on that Hollywood walk of fame today... I want my name there.

(My feet are the top left, next to the film symbol.)
And on the subject of a performing arts school:
I'm thinking of attending Columbus State University in GA. This is their Performing Arts Building:

The tuition isn't terribly expensive, I mean, if I can get five grand from the government for being poor like I have in the past, tuition would only cost me upwards of $3,000 a year. I think that's what I figured, anyway.
Current annoyances and concerns:
1. No one has showed a sincere interest in buying my contract.
2. I'm without a job, but I'm sure Durango's would take me back if I tell them quick enough.
3. There are so many girls out there who look like me who are equally or more talented. I don't know if I'll ever make it.
Thoughts:
1. If I can't sell my contract, I have to find a job ASAP, whether it be in Logan, Park City or St. George. And I'll just have to suck it up and pay my rent.
2. Christmas: the good news is, I can go home for as long as I freaking want because I'm not enrolled in school.
3. I need to ....figure all of this out.

ReplyDeleteSkill is *WAY* more important than talent. Having talent in something makes building skill easier, yes, but skill can be built without talent. It just takes longer. The most talented performer is no match for one who's built skill and craft. This principle - skill superseding talent - applies in virtually every area of achievement: performing arts, math, science, writing, painting, computer programming, almost anything.
Trust me. I've tested it. If you work hard and constantly learn and grow, with a goal in mind, you can do it.
