Coming to terms with the fact that it never mattered is one of the most profound realizations that a young pretentious artist, such as myself, can come to, I think. Hollywood is a perverse world riddled with victims of circumstance. The word 'artistry' is nothing more than a sales slogan here... It doesn't mean a thing.
'Fight to change it all through art;' the most noble motivation of any artist, no less any-body. The fight to change it all is a gift of ignorance, a gift for the young. Youth is ignorance, and old age is just a different kind of ignorance.
And what a lie it all was. What a beautiful lie I told myself all these years. I was different. I was above the normal. I was above the 'common...' But, all the while, the truth of it was that the 'common' was very much above me... I would kill to be common. Just once. I would kill to feel common again.
