I wanted to cry, but I held back because I had worked so hard on my makeup. This thought made me chuckle because I never fully understood why people didn’t just let the emotion sink in and let the tears out. The irony of my own subtle judgments actually calmed the whirlwind inside me. Hollywood …

She was sobbing and ranting, and I wanted to tell her “You have the power to choose any facts and any feelings, why are you choosing THESE facts and feelings?” but she was stuck in the painful trap of self-importance. It was not the right place, and certainly not the right time to have that …
