This Recording - Actors are not artists. I’ve dated Artists

Actors are not artists. I’ve dated Artists - they are wild and driven by some deep, creative impulse that makes them all the more attractive. They are the conduits through which art is created and their bodies are these tempestuous, bipolar tangles of wire that can magnetize as easily as they can electrocute.

Actors, though - actors are themselves the Art. Their personalities, their mannerisms, their style, their affectations - they have cultivated themselves so thoroughly by the time they’re my age that they are polished, concrete versions of the person they want to be, even if the insides still run on anti-depressants.
