Every time I read anything that has to do with this guy, it reminds me that I don't have to conform to anything to make it in this industry...
Here's some parts of the article I really identified with. I felt like I told him to say that shyt lol...
-“I like to come from the most natural space. There’s a line in the
Suzan-Lori Parks play I did [Topdog/Underdog] that goes, ‘You’re only
yourself when no one’s watching.’ For me, the technique has been to
behave the way I do when no one’s watching when everyone’s watching.
That’s a scary proposition sometimes, because people are not kind or
understanding. But I’m not gonna let that stop me.”
-“To quote the Dalai Lama, ‘I’m
being wisely selfish,’” says Mos, humbly shrugging
his shoulders. “It’s in my best interest to
have the best interests of the planet in mind. It’s
one thing to be the greatest; it’s another thing to
be necessary, and that’s the aim for me. The best are the most necessary:
those who take less than they give and love more than they hate.”
real shyt...
