“When a movie director tells you to play a character that acts like they see unicorns, you don’t play a character who acts like they see unicorns, you play a character who sees unicorns”.- Michael McKean (Chuck from Better Call Saul)
Sure, acting like an artist is a great way to start becoming an artist. But there are so many artists who only ever act like artists. There is no actual becoming. No transformation.
BEING an artist is an entirely different dimension than simply acting like one.
(And we all have an uncanny abilitiy to tell the difference)
We need more artists who see unicorns.
