To fight fear, act. To increase fear -- wait, put off postpo

Summary

This quote suggests that in order to conquer fear, one must take action and confront it head-on. By actively facing our fears, we diminish their power over us and find growth and empowerment. On the other hand, if we continuously delay or avoid dealing with our fears, they only intensify and become more overwhelming. The quote emphasizes that delaying or postponing action only serves to amplify our fears, while taking immediate steps to address them is key to overcoming and reducing them.

I'm not sure anybody's ready to see me in a drama. And loving movies so much, I've seen a lot of comics try to make that transition too fast, and it can be detrimental. And I don't think I've had as much success as I need in the comedy genre to open up those opportunities.

I think what I love most about writing is that feeling that you really nailed something. I rarely feel it with a whole piece, but sometimes with a line you feel that it really captured what it is that you had inside you and you got it out for a stranger to read, someone who may never love you or meet you, but he or she is going to get that experience from that line.
