I guess I have a talent for humiliation, a place within me that experience can't reach, which is terrible in real life but something that comes in handy in writing. It seems as though humiliation has become a career for me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The greatest humiliation in life, is to work hard on something from which you expect great appreciation, and then fail to get it.
Art is born of humiliation.
I've had every kind of humiliation, from playing in Gala Bingo halls to doing a PA in a Glaswegian nightclub and having cans of lager thrown at me.
When I graduated college I had a series of just humiliating jobs that I couldn't believe I was at.
Avoiding humiliation is the core of tragedy and comedy.
My writing was liberated once I abandoned acting.
Writing is frustration - it's daily frustration, not to mention humiliation. It's just like baseball: you fail two-thirds of the time.
Performers are so vulnerable. They're frightened of humiliation, sure their work will be crap. I try to make an environment where it's warm, where it's OK to fail - a kind of home, I suppose.
Oh, humiliation is poisonous. It's one of the deepest pains of being human.
To write is a humiliation.
