I've never tried to learn the art of acting. I have been in the business for years but I still can't tell what acting is or how it's done.
You'd be surprised at how undemanding acting is.
I don't see it as a form of healing, because if you have wounds that are bleeding I don't think acting will ever get them to stop. But I find acting is a form of illumination.
