II usually takes about ten years for an
actor or actress to become acknowledged
and his or her ability accepted at its real
value. YOU have a hard struggle before
you. but do not despair, for you are going
forward the whole time, and when YOU
finally climb the htDl Of recognition YOU
will find il rather pleasant, and the hills
that lie beyond arr often climbed with
surprising ease"

perfect control over your emotions. Feel
them. and let the audience see your eyes
and they will know just what your emo

He further advised them n avoid hocom-
