It's a small step, really. But first:
Our art combines pictures and sound. We are musicians and painters and poets. And yet, those respective art forms seem more unique than ours to make an individual statement to the world. Why is that? Answer that question to yourself before reading on.
How do we cultivate ourselves? What breaks your heart? What makes you angry? If you could really truly change that which makes you unhappy, whether it is child abuse, prejudice, or something simple and close to you, what would it be? As an artist, it isn't that we feel some things uniquely, it is perhaps that we feel them deeply or none at all. Am I able to see this humanity in your roles?
This is where all masters have agreed: you are a million times more interesting than any character you will ever play, but if there is no "you," your interpretations will lack the spark which propels you from great, to brilliant.
