It might be taking you a long while to break into the industry. But I want you to know something. It doesn’t mean that you’re not talented. It just means you’re not as lucky as hundreds of thousands of other people

Ah yes LUCK. Happenstance.
Chance.
Opportunity.
You can do all the right things, learn all the right things, be prepared, work hard, be reliable, show up early...and still not somehow "make it". The journey turns out to be the reward. And for many of us in the arts, that will all have to be enough.
YEP! They're all against me.
• I go out to SoCal in 1980 to be in Da Movie Business. I finally got into the Screen Actors Guild in 2001. But by then I was a barnacle caretaker.
• I write my 1st feature script in 2006, which I then mowed into the lawns of many big shots in Bel Air. Not optioned! 😲
