Actors and preachers are people who stand up on stage and have no problem talking and they have no problem saying, “Listen to me. Follow me. I know what I’m talking about.”

Talking

As much as I’d like to pretend that I’m not performing, I think any actor sometimes has themselves outside of themselves and is trying to direct themselves and control what you’re seeing and thinking.

At some point in my career, I was thinking, “Why am I not a star? Why am I not Brad Pitt? Why am I not Tom Cruise?”

Being a part of the crowd with incredible musicians onstage summoning the muse and delivering that to us – doesn’t matter if it’s an orchestra, two bluegrass banjo pickers, a solo singer, piano player, or Bruce Springsteen – when it all comes together, you can just feel as if you are a part of something bigger and grander than yourself.

I have a lot of appetites and try to revel in almost everything, so inspiration can even come from a well-appointed submarine sandwich, you know?

I have found, without a doubt, that when I manage to get outside myself and not make myself the center, I’m always taken care of in whatever situation I’m in, even if I’m slow to recognize it. It’s counterintuitive thinking on some level and not consistently easy to do.
