I have trouble with direction, because I have trouble with authority. I was not a good Marine.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You just have to have the guidance to lead you in the direction until you can do it yourself.
Some of the best advice I've had comes from junior officers and enlisted men.
I've always had trouble with authority.
If you have problems of conduct that are difficult and hard to settle, I will furnish you with solutions, for I not only know matters of practice and duty, but I even know them beforehand.
You have to be forward-moving and able to balance a lot of things at the same time. I attribute a lot of that to the Marine Corps and Juilliard both.
I've had lots of things that didn't work out, like TV shows. You learn a lot through mistakes - I learned that you have to be the captain of your ship. Actually, I own my ship.
The Marines gave me a really strong sense of discipline and a work ethic that kicks in at my job.
The only kind of movement you could make in the Navy was to be a platoon leader or one of those kinds of things as you got more senior in your Navy career.
I've always taken direction pretty well.
When I put on my Marine cover, I'm a Marine, and I act accordingly.
