“Did You Just Get Here?”

 

I didn’t like my behavior yesterday at Samuel French.

I hate the negative association around being an actor.

Being an actor looking for an agent.

Being a new woman actress:

“Did you just get here,” the Samuel French employee asked me.

 

I hate feeling like I’m New and Don’t Know Anything.

Cause I am New and Don’t Know Anything.

 

And when I was in Chicago; I felt like I knew a lot. And I wasn’t the New Kid. Many, many people knew me and many people respected me- or just knew that I worked.

Now, I am put in the same category with every other New Actor and I am not. I was trained and worked in Chicago. And I hate myself because I should’ve just shut up. Shut up. I will just Shut Up when I’m Insecure.
