Never Ever Do An...

Advice Given to Sydney from fellow actor and mentor John Cassavetes on set

...We are friends but, Never ever do an artistic favor for a friend.

Loan a friend some money, be there for them is every other way but do not give them any favors, because you

must have one area in your life that there is no room for compromise.

"The Lens..."

The lens sees what it sees, and it is entirely neutral in its gaze.

Its not looking for my best or my worst and there is not guarantee that it will capture something truly representative.

It can't mirror the self completely but I do know it can tell when I am thinking, and I know that it can tell when there is something

I am trying to hide...
