Don’T Waste Time Pondering Things. Just Go Out And Do Them

Great interview with one of my favourite actresses; Anjelica Houston.

Although her father sounds extremely egotistical

So I was not at my happiest in my late teens. I went from confident and secure to shy and insecure and back again.

I wish I could have been more accepting of myself. I had once overheard my father saying, when I was about 15 or 16, that I might turn out to be plain. That was a particularly unattractive moment for me.

My nose was growing and my chin was receding, by comparison, and no one knew more than me how plain I felt.

Confidence is really so fragile, in acting. Even when I was 28 — I had been modelling in New York — and told my dad that I wanted to act, he replied: “Don’t you think you are a little old, honey?”

Great advice here

My advice to my 18-year-old self would have been: “Stop wasting time pondering about things. Just go out and do them.”
