Testimonial

"The Inner Actor is a valuable source of wisdom and information for actors at all levels of the business.

"It is an invaluable resource for those seeking the skills, truths, and practicalities of making a living in the world of art and entertainment.

"It should be bookmarked on the computer of any actor who continues to develop -- hopefully all of us."

Dealing with self sabotage – Pierce Brosnan on being self-critical

“I know what it’s like to loathe oneself. To feel that deep self-loathing.

“It’s painful and ugly and f**ing unwanted.

“And it got in the way. I can dip in there, into the old black-Irish melancholy.

“You think ‘Am I smart enough? Am I equipped enough to deal with it all?’

“You don’t want it to happen, but it’s part of life. My faith has kept me strong in times of great distress and turmoil and has given me a touchstone with myself and more.”

Pierce Brosnan [Life mag., Dec 2 2005]
