I had a very insightful friend who warned me back when I stopped reading scripts, 'It's easier to change directions while you're still moving.' If you stop, it's harder to get started again. I still don't think I made the wrong decision, but he was right.

Summary

This quote reflects the idea that it's easier to make changes or take new paths in life when you are in motion or actively engaged. The friend's warning about stopping implies that once we halt or become stagnant, it becomes more difficult to begin again. Although the speaker does not believe they made a mistake in their decision to stop reading scripts, they acknowledge their friend's wisdom in highlighting the importance of continuous progress and the challenges that come with resuming a task after a significant pause.
