Hi Teresa, thank you so much for all of your amazing Tez talks. I have watched many of them multiple times and they have really helped me.
I really admire the person you are and the life and career you have built for yourself.
My dream was to become an actor. Started in Adelaide myself (Actors Ink!) then moved to Sydney to study at some higher profile schools. It all got too much, too competitive, I became less satisfied with myself, I was hard on myself and was given feedback that I was too in my head and I quit. I have since started to ease back into acting again, however feel sad that maybe I could have progressed this career into something more and maybe made it in LA.
I have a few questions I would love your take on:
– How do you handle acting in an industry where it can be fickle and judgemental as a spiritual person? How do you protect your spirit, happiness and self esteem when faced with rejection (constant)?
– I am 27 and I am now living back in Adelaide. Am I too old for Hollywood? If not, what steps would you suggest I could take to make acting a viable and successful career? I want to be myself and stay in healthy, spiritual and positive place this time – any tips?
– How do you handle the uncertainty of acting from a financial point of view? I am torn between doing a job that pays well and the uncertainty of acting.
– I am scared on doing screen kissing scenes and/or sex scenes because I have such a beautiful relationship with my partner and I worry that it might disrupt the harmony and effect my relationship. How do yourself and Mark handle this? How do you stay in a healthy and high vibration place together when doing work that is confronting like this?
Thank you so much for taking the time to read these questions. I once met you briefly at your Ever After premier in Adelaide – at the time I didn’t know much about you, but since meeting you – I realised how much of an incredible role model you are as a person and I became an instant fan.
Wishing you much love, success and happiness!
