In today's Coffee&Content @RB shares a video of James Cameron talking about his films and how he went from being fired from a film to where he is today.

Alexandra Stevens I've been shedding old acting beliefs and "schools of thought" this past year, methods, patterns, and have reached a place of trust in myself, in my heart and in my soul. I trust myself now, and that is all that moves me. I remember why I do this, why I act, and now, that is the solid foundation I stand on, ready on, and fly off of. Confidence : )

Alexandra Stevens My why, in acting, is to feel what others can't... It's...expression. Feeling, embodying a person who's story is being told, is my why. A service : )
