on one of the last dog walks with my dad he was asking me what i wanted out of hollywood - out of my time there - out of what i wanted to do there ultimatley - and the best answer i could give him was “just to keep running until i get “there”, wherever “there” is”.

i dont know what the answer to that question exactly will ever be, but to set a goal - a movie - a something - a whatever - to just keep running. because at least, i guess, if you’re running in the right direction with the right goal in mind, at least then you’ll figure out what you want by the time that you get there. and then you can blow right on past that goal and on to the next.

so, dad, just to keep on running. and to find that peace of mind. be it in a woman or a role or something i can create, just that, i think, i think that’s the best answer i could give him.

i think with his passing i’ve understood leagues about doing things for the right reasons. not to “become famous” or any thing of that ilk, but to do the right thing for the right reasons. whatever that may be.
