When people think of the substance abuse, emotional negatives and lean away from the average of many actors, they think it is because of the fame and fortune and the pressures applied. I do not however, I think most artists suffer these traits and have predilections for behaviours and this is part of the reason they can tap into their creativity. It often comes at a cost.
I think artists suffer these traits for various reasons, including because of fame and fortune and the pressures applied.
Some got exposed to fame too early, some couldn't handle the huge pressure and public scrutiny that comes with fame. We can't deny it, fame places boulders on the shoulders of the individual! Without the right support base, the individual crushes under the weight.
We must not blame the a writer's, artist's or celebrity's failure on nothing but the causatives!
Over the years I have found that delving into the darkness is where I find the light and where I can prepare my mind, emotion and body to deal with the hardest of circumstances if they arise.
This is awesome. Each one of us has his own dark room, The dark room is the place of rebirth!
Isn't it strange that darkness is where we find strength and light? Beautiful life.
