It’s hard to articulate how truly helpful Bill’s guidance has been over the years. He’s made me believe that when it comes to making emotional or behavioral choices in a scene, I am enough – there is no need to push or force or conjure up something that simply isn’t there. Stillness, trust and commitment are sometimes all you need. He brought the joy of acting back into my life, which I will be forever grateful for.
The most important lesson Bill has taught me is to let it go, really really let it go, right out of the gate. After years of training, too much perfectionism and way too much self doubt, Bill instilled in me the confidence to own my weirdness – my weirdness is what sets me apart and thank god for that. He encourages actors to recognize and work through their own emotional blocks in their day to day, which leads to a more open and honest emotional life when performing. There is no easy path to being a committed, open, free, ballsy, truthful, memorable actor – but Bill teaches you that, believe it or not, you already have all the answers. Thank you, thank you, thank you for getting me out of my head, Bill!
