How To Be A Person - The Newsletter

2024/04/18

Wednesday April 17th, 2024This week on the Bold Acting Podcast I read my notes gleaned from Steven Pressfield’s The War of Art. One of the things he talks about is why we get ourselves into trouble: because it’s easier than finishing what has to be done, Pressfield says. Everything from being late to blaring loud rap music, drug addiction, compulsive screwing up and jealousy is resistance (his word for the universal force that is at war with the creative spirit).Obviously there is a lot wrong with

Steven Pressfield is a cheerleader. And we need more of those in this world. There are too many naysayers out there and inside our heads. We don’t need someone else telling us we’re getting it wrong. What serves me as a teacher? To position myself as rarefied? To conflate experience with wisdom? To profess my way as being the only way?In separating myself from the pack, I want to remain a student and a cheerleader. We didn't get into this mess because we've been making too much art. We've been

Apropos of Everything

Gabrielle Zevin wrote in her novel Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow.“The alternative to appropriation is a world in which artists only reference their own cultures … Where white European people only make art about white European people, with only white European references in it. A world where everyone is blind and deaf to any culture or experience not their own.”The slogan Nothing about us, without us was first used in 1505 as a political motto that helped form and establish constitutional

As far as cuisine is concerned one must read everything, see everything, hear everything, try everything, observe everything, in order to retain in the end, just a little.” — Fernand Point, father of French Cuisine.The future is not here yet. Why are we so enamoured with it? And the past? What is so bad about the present?Do you remember that voice-over in Terrence Malick’s The Thin Read Line?Who's doin' this? … Robbing us of life and light.

Rick Rubin's The Creative Act

2024/03/17

Oscar Wilde said some things are too important to take seriously. And this is Rick Rubin’s stance on creativity.For me the pragmatic act of making art is the destination. And if we’re wary enough of inspiration we can get down to the business of getting our reps in. Art isn’t about thinking or even about being in a state of mind. It’s about doing it. And most of the time it’s better to be out of your mind and in your body.Just make art. Quit waiting to be visited by the Great Muse. Like everything

2024/03/13

A Guyanese-Canadian actor Nicola Correia-Demude is best known for her role as Dr. Lucy Di Silva on Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent. Nicola came over to my house to talk about how, up until six years ago, she didn’t have a career in Film & TV. Since recent cultural shifts she has never been busier. In the before times she said she was “too ethnic, too mixed race, too fat, too tall, too this, too that, too everything.” But the birth of her child put that “everything” in perspective. And as she

Your Money's Worth

This week I went to the Comedy Bar here in Toronto and I did not get my money’s worth.We went to see the 9:30 standup show called Point Break Comedy because we didn't have time to go to the 8 o'clock improv show “Nice Time” that has a lot of heavy hitters in it.The first Comic got up and was the picture of a young stand-up comedian. Odd, bad with eye contact, lots of inappropriate humour. He told jokes. They weren't always great, but they were jokes. That's something that one would expect a standup

This episode was previously aired in July of 2017 WARNING: This whole episode is triggering to the perpetually outraged or incredibly sensitive. Which is part and parcel why it’s so damn good and worth re-releasing. Originally it was on my very first podcast In the Dark that I recorded out of an office I shared with Dave on Sorauren Ave. here in West Toronto. On this episode I recorded a chat with acclaimed commercial director while we were working in Bucharest. It is dark, funny and real. I hope

Gerry and I went for Korean on Wednesday. We ordered a beef dinner for four instead for some reason. The appetizer was thin slices of beef cooked on our table. All the smoke blew into Gerry’s eyes. Then there were mushrooms — the only vegetable I saw all night except for the kimchi. Which was delicious.Gerry’s dog had just died. Or Ger had just put her down. We cheers Poppy. I’m not really a dog person. Not a cat person either although I have one on the premises now. I can finally understand we have
