cindymayweather:This was to be my first film and judging by the story and the people involved, I knew it was no small potatoes. I couldn’t possibly get away with this one. It was a big deal and I… wasn’t. I felt small, like an underdog, dwarfed by everyone else in it. I had no experience working on this scale, I thought. How was I supposed to act alongside Mr. Kinky Boots, Mr. Magneto and Troy himself! Who was I? I was certain Steve had made a mistake, and that he would fire me any day now. This was a REAL fear of mine. It kept me up at night – in fact I did not have a good night’s rest from the day I got offered the role to the day I got wrapped on set.Before I left to shoot the film, I reached out to a close friend and classmate of mine. I asked her where all that abandon and courage had disappeared to from all my time at Yale. What had I learned and why wouldn’t it show up to me when I needed it most? My friend breathed with me – a good friend does that. and then she reminded me that it was all there, that I needed to trust in myself in order for what I had learned to serve me. Patsey’s point of view had to matter to me more than my own. She reminded me to lead not with my fear but with my hope. When you are living ‘on purpose,’ the limited size of your human experience has got nothing to do with it. (x) -- source link
