    You'd be wrong.

    In fact, a talented a professional actor such as I would never stoop so low as to sabotage a film for my own personal gain and exposure. You see, when you've acted as long and well as I have, you begin to realize that an actor is not merely an individual, but rather a part of something bigger. Something grander. To quote Shakespeare, "The world is a stage, all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances and one person in their life plays many parts." It's probably slightly misquoted, but you get the point.

    To further prove my point, I have a a Best Supporting Actor Award that I won despite being the (correct) choice for lead. It showcases my ability to play my role without falling into the the career-killing pit known as ego.

    Ah yes, ego. A corrupt mistress that insists to jerk on the performers to make them but an object of affection. Such is the difference between a professional and a dreaming child. Professionals play a role. Dreaming children use a role to become loved by masses of strangers.

    So let it be known I am an actor with a professional understanding of my place. Anyway, I'm getting off-track, just making up such an passionate and spontaneous speech like that. Continue on.
    And that... was improv.

    Was that an ironic speech about ego?


    Anyway I'm pretty much exactly the same as Aulayna:

    Awesome! Congrats.

    I'm not really excited for anything right now. The big thing I was excited about this year has already been and gone.

    Although I guess I'm also excited to imagine what things will be like in 4-5 months time if I stick to this gymming/eating better routine.
