Three words for your Wednesday
Oh, hi friends!
It’s Wednesday. (I refuse to use the phrase "h**p day")
The only three words you need today:
Just keep swimming.
Just keep swimming.
Just keep swimming.
“I was hugely anxious before it came out. I didn’t know if people would like it. I had to remind myself that my job is to move people, not impress them. I don’t think I’ll ever feel the pressure as keenly as I did the first time. It was a huge opportunity that had the potential to change my life – and it did! I was also aware that the play had done well and I didn’t want to fail it with a crap TV adaptation. I shudder remembering the sleepless nights!”
My favorite celebrity profiles are just paragraphs and paragraphs of direct quotes from the ‘celebrity’ herself. Loved this from Fleabag's Phoebe Waller-Bridge in the Guardian.
And another quote for good measure:
“I think confidence can be tied to permission. If you feel you have a place somewhere, you are more likely to assert yourself. Assertiveness isn’t a quality women are traditionally taught to possess and there are lots of professions where a woman can feel like a trespasser. When I met Vicky Jones (director of the play of Fleabag), she inspired me to stop apologising for wanting to be the kind of actor or writer that I wanted to be. We forced each other to write almost by reminding each other that we were allowed to.”
Your fake-link for today is pivot. If your work looks a lot like someone else’s work (doesn’t matter who got there first), how can you change it up? The Ideas Well is bottomless. Don’t stop at the top.
