They tell you to memorize your lines, follow your light, and hit your marks. Those are the three things that you shouldn't do.

Everyone else will tell me I'm wrong, but that's my opinion.

I'm going to sound a little weird here, but I like to spend a lot of time on my own in the woods. I don't exactly sneak off in the middle of the night, but I like to be in a place where no one can reach me by phone or e-mail.
