“I did four or five years in telly, and by the end of it was drained. I was a bit sick of myself. I didn't feel like an actor anymore.

“Give yourself a compliment every day. I know this sounds silly, but it really is important. As girls, we spend countless hours focusing on our flaws and trying to correct them or cover them up. It's essential to focus on something you like about yourself. Maybe you're having a good hair day or your skin is looking especially healthy. Take a moment each day to focus on the good, and then try to carry that with you throughout the day, because while bangs don't look good on everyone, confidence does.” KnowsGivingTryingLooksDoeImportantMomentsGirlSoundHoursFocusHairHealthyEssentialsSkinsSillyEach DayFlawsComplimentAbout YourselfBangsGood Hair Author:Lauren Conrad

“I don't take so-called "vacations" often. In fact vacations are more stressful than the lives my wife and I worked hard to set up for ourselves in New York. It seems like being on vacation is like normal living, which is not very satisfying. It means we're figuring out what to make for lunch today, and that seems like such an absurd way to live. The issue of dealing with that doesn't seem to be so prominent back home. It sounds so silly and ridiculous, but it's really the way it is. We love what we do, so I prefer being in the studio; that's really living for me.” WayMeanHardFactsHomeSeemsTodaySoundIssuesWifeNew YorkNormalStudiosMy WifeRidiculousSillyAbsurdLunchSatisfyingVacationStressfulBack HomeWay To LiveProminentReally Living Author:Ryan McGinness
“Improv is more than just spitting out a bunch of funny stuff that's unrelated to the material. You have to stay in character, you have to react and respond as the character you're trying to play. You have to service the story, and I think improv training has helped with my listening, responding, and my audition technique. It's sounds so silly, but it's true. Because not only do you improvise during the audition, but once you get the part, they'll say, "Throw away everything. Just improv this scene. Do whatever you want." Someone could panic if they're not used to doing something like that.” IfsThinkingWantTryingPlayCharacterStoriesUsedStuffSoundMaterialsListeningSceneTrainingTechniqueSillyBunchPanicAuditionsRespondingDo Whatever You WantFunny Stuff Author:Wendi McLendon-Covey
