"So many people in this city will use your dreams against you. They capitalize on your desire to be significant. I’ve spent so much money trying to be an actor. I’ve worked for free on films that never even got edited. I’ve paid to be in workshops and agent showcases where people pretend to be interested in my work just to collect my $150 entrance fee. Then they don’t even have the courtesy to answer my email when I follow up. I’ve seen so many old geezers cast young women in their films just so they can see their ass or grope them. It’s offensive. This is supposed to be art. How can you take advantage of someone’s hope of meaning something in this world? That’s as low as it gets.”
