When pretending starts, growth stops

About This Quote

When pretending starts, growth stops. If you want to be a good actor, you have to practice when you’re not pretending. That means when you’re not acting. If you don’t practice being yourself, then all your acting will be a waste of time. You can’t pretend that you know the world better than everyone else when in reality it is a place that can confound and confuse anyone with their own limited perspective.
