>”Fear of giving me the lines / maybe won’t be able to learn them / maybe I’ll make mistakes / people will either think I’m no good or / laugh or belittle me or think I can’t act. Women looked stern and critical—unfriendly and cold in general. Afraid director won’t think I’m any good. Remembering when I couldn’t do a god damn thing. Then trying to build myself up with the fact that I have done things right that were even good and have had moments that were excellent but the bad is heavier to carry around and feel have no confidence depressed mad”
