Can't Control the Outcome

Actors on acting -- ones I've been impressed with in that forum lately -- Bryan Cranston, Hugh Jackman and Bradley Cooper. The one I heard most recently was Bryan Cranston's simple assessment. An actor's job is not to get a job when auditioning. -- instead, the actor needs to give the performance they came to do, and walk away; releasing all other desire to control the outcome. He said that was a perspective shifter for him. A wonderful perspective shift for any of us in any profession, really.
