Driven by dreams…

Oct 20 By Marjorie

What’s cool is that art is art, all across the board, no matter where or how or what you are doing.  Movies, painting, writing – it’s all a kind of expression, and the drives are the same, the roots of the passion that keep you going.  Which is why I really dig this section of an interview with Lost star, Josh Holloway:

And on the subject of finding work, what really got you through the day when you were looking for that one job or that one break which would�ve helped you out? Everyone says it�s believing in yourself, it�s perseverance, but self-help garbage aside, what really carried you through your days?

I couldn�t stop my dreams.

I couldn�t stop my daydreams or night dreams or my dreams of what I want out of life. I don�t know, I didn�t know what I wanted out of life. I didn�t know what I wanted to be, I wanted to be everything. Acting would provide that. I could taste what it would be like to be a secret agent, I could taste what it would be like to be a contractor, a lawyer, whatever, this or that. That really�I didn�t want to let that go because I wanted to experience what movies and the like would allow you to experience. And it�s still�it�s what got me up in the morning. It takes everything you have, emotionally and physically, just to keep going. You�re constantly nervous or excited, really happy or really sad, and it�s just a constant plethora of emotions that you�re faced with in this job.

I mean, I�m a cancer, I�m emotional and that�s what kept me in: the magic. You hit those moments and you have that magic happen and it�s freeing. And when I was about to leave I�d hit the magic again. And it would reel me back in. But I can�t. It�s so all-encompassing for me. And that�s what inspires me in life; I want to inspire and be inspired.

You change acting to writing, and that’s me.  Or some of me, anyway.  You can read the rest of the interview here.
