“I pretended to be somebody I wanted to be and I finally became that person. Or he became me. Or we met at some point.”
Already we have a Best Quote of the New Year. Those immortal words come from the incredible Archie Leach… oh, wait, never heard of him? Sorry, sorry, let me tell you his “real” name: Cary Grant.
Making resolutions about changing who we are always brings to mind actors to me — people who imagined a character and then assimilated those values and traits successfully enough to draw success to themselves in turn. Archie Leach was a latchkey kid who had seriously problematic parents, but he truly hustled and turned himself into the icon he’s remembered as today.
Something to think about.
Meanwhile, there’s a new secret agent in the house! Congratulations to <
