everyone at you know when they invited me to the dates I was wondering if they actually wanted me to see some meaningful stuff or they just wanted me to come in and say cool okay %HESITATION it's quite humbling actually %HESITATION because %HESITATION of whatever little bang that your fellow students have spent with me %HESITATION they would realize that I am ex I'm not that good ought
not that funny in life %HESITATION so I was kind of wondering what can I say that meant that I got to know the the other speakers %HESITATION and they had so much speed is that so much to see %HESITATION this so much that they've done %HESITATION in terms of bought critiquing book %HESITATION so I put I will hang on to the theme of that X. which
is called at rewired because as I was contemplating I understood that I have G. wide myself quite a few times %HESITATION it began when I realize that I'm not good at studies %HESITATION not good is being polite I was horrible at studies %HESITATION not because I was underprivileged of anything is just because I was kind of dumb of %HESITATION which is why I was so %HESITATION
happy when I heard that you know people who feel that metric and they've done so well in life %HESITATION it was really very humbling %HESITATION I I have actually said Boston's that I've %HESITATION feeling eat nine %HESITATION then in eleventh %HESITATION and to it %HESITATION boost which I quit studies and I thought I need to get to the wired figured out I going to be good
at something %HESITATION and the navy list I'm I'm very good at lying I live anywhere %HESITATION isolated tool that I'm good at studies and isolated home that I go to college %HESITATION eyes to live at home that I have no good friends %HESITATION %HESITATION sometimes had to live with friends that I have several good friends %HESITATION so I thought I need to I need to find
a way that I can die would this energy in and create something productive out of it which is when I I I got introduced to this medium called theater %HESITATION which kind of changed a lot of things for me %HESITATION the first time I went on steeds %HESITATION it was not a great performance that inspired me actually %HESITATION my father was acting in a play and
I got the opportunity to go backstage %HESITATION equity theater and all my life I I would smell my father skillets and they would smell a certain beat I'd be really attracted to that smell is like what is displayed what's this perfume that he's a blank %HESITATION so when I went backstage %HESITATION activity theater I realized that I recognized this when he was the same thing it's
nothing but a lot of people who were waiting perfume and smoking cigarettes and then they close would smell a certainty %HESITATION penalties that I realize that heeds the seam please it's such a familiar smell I should will kill you know this is what I should be you know it Smith is very familiar spells damage active that's how I started doing theater %HESITATION and that's the true
facts and the I'd you know all all to my childhood %HESITATION what would happen is %HESITATION there's one skill that I possessed %HESITATION strong leasing McQueen booth translation it was going in the man %HESITATION tick tick I the bard Pitt top Mujahid get a Lemme model kits and ivy eh Gandhi looking thing you did back elective Salado Matt jumped up from Telemaco job legally can make
Putin eagle was come with records of sending out of %HESITATION you Skillman N. develop kia if they saw that that %HESITATION on a sunny get W. looks a lot that he %HESITATION but not that it would look to get them out and you many Mondale admitted you should you just need a plan with you look the S. and it was it was sending out the we
bought a sata the gimmick at the company member sweet because I think it's a versatility a pen man at the Keely kiwoom cool picked us up and I just heard a little bit I think a society will on because of the and at some point I realized that I need to die would dis energy that I have anger that I have and I have to use
this productively you know I have to do something with it so the first experiment which I did with my anger TD is %HESITATION I I blinded a bomb in my principles given once %HESITATION and it was the it is closer to the body and there was some stupid fight that I had in my school and %HESITATION which actually I was not responsible whose but to learn
anything all other principal Ned wouldn't belly it life would be just remain on the hilltop America but a doctor you know P. yet up to some it would be tiled up Nick which to Yemen to mad to school saddling all dependent on it proportional getting mad at them because Inagaki abduct you could end up for yeah I'm with which got left you brought to school later
but I'm making a school the medical singing yet good to see what I would only American imaging which got IT is all about who can I seem so many good bands illegals beside them are do it again though in my head I'd done something kind I'd save somebody's life what the but primitive because you've allowed the class that I do let them impossible saga the pin
man a good %HESITATION excess DC good could he be bossy order a courtesy Beleza on a lighter opens with a gotta give into so double sports speed it can be a sum of money to that that the man's social getting about no but I'll Lucas Leslie get killed will bomb blonde cookie I'll or just some look beauty gotta table did that platonic sickness for twelve all
submitted that get %HESITATION okay button but the delay to get in there to see below that that so I realize that this is you know this is a great comedian I can do wonders with this %HESITATION I I I have this ball of Ike and I would play and then and and be productive with it %HESITATION so when I started acting it it kind of really
helped me because %HESITATION you know I I I do need to react idea I came up with the first bit of writing that I did %HESITATION which is when I was kind of adapting a plea %HESITATION and writing a short story I think %HESITATION I came up with the theory that I I don't like arguing I think it's a it's a good movie stuff dying you
know of like gonna fuck even my father doesn't think I'm good at something noticed my teacher doesn't think Michael actors don't think I'm good at something I don't want to have an argument with them so waste of time because I think anger is a force you know and you shouldn't be stood on winning an argument use it to win like so so why waste this force
Alyssa use it productively %HESITATION I'd like to talk a little bit about writing because whatever an affluent I'm not learned from books I've only known to freely as %HESITATION and I've generally had several feet is because I've been acting since the year two thousand and the only thing that people about me school so so really I feel a lot %HESITATION before you guys could go on
being at a prestigious event liked addicts and asked me to speak %HESITATION so about writing what I understood is so besides all the theory that you get to know with various books bought scriptwriting and please I think %HESITATION but I do the story is actually like a relationship you know where you get a job with an idea is the honeymoon fees actually which is when you
know you guys are going out guessing all the time sex is great and everybody's looking beautiful you dress red behave well that's when you get the job of an idea the best fees then you move in together that's a tough case because then you're gonna stop liking a few things about each other and similarly you stop liking a few things about your in original idea %HESITATION
and then there is a deadlock fees bet you just gone see each other you know you pretty much hit everything about each other %HESITATION Texas out of the window at that time you see doesn't work %HESITATION and that's the writer's block you know but if you cross that then you have a very successful relationship a lot of very successful story %HESITATION if not successful but a
complete story I would say %HESITATION which would make sense to a lot of people so for me writing is always been a relationship every time I I work on writing the script I feel I'm in a relationship with this saw this woman and I have to make it look no matter what happens but how long though writers blockades or later how long the deadlock it's I
will make it look and all and so far I've had bill beautiful successful marriages %HESITATION stories %HESITATION so yeah that's that's pretty much my understanding of writing %HESITATION and gingerly speaking about acting and feel of art of what I've understood over the years is that I think V. %HESITATION people what in the field of art are very very privileged people because I saw if you had
the only people who %HESITATION for us whatever V. expedience beat excess of failure or defeat or anger or any of that none of this is is going to go waste in everything that I expediency life is a story written to be toward you know either in a script or you know talked directly or you know in a story that I direct so and we had the
only field the field of arts and also which is why I think that we are a bunch of very very privileged people if only we understand and realize the Pahlavi have that whatever vehicle and whatever happens to us you know if I have a horrible at talk tonight and everybody's disappointed it's another story that just reading to be taught at all I think that that's doing
the next to talk a so sue once you realize this ball you realize that how important it is to Z. didn't interesting life and how important it is to %HESITATION to embrace whatever is happening to you everyday you know %HESITATION when when I everyday as an actor also because I've been acting for now fifteen sixteen years %HESITATION and off which is the relevant stuff as being
only four or five which is what you guys know about %HESITATION I realize that every five years you know I have rewired myself as an act of old so initially the idea was to get big box then the idea was to understand what kind of an actor I am what is it that I have that I can offer as an actor that people would be interested
in you know after six years of acting in a theater company I realize that this is not the kind of acting that I enjoy of the kind of reforms that I enjoy is that it doesn't look like in performance then it doesn't feel like I am acting when people actually believe that I am this goofy person Gordon leakage or I am just so frustrated trapgold Chandon
%HESITATION you know which is when it the first of the wired happened to me %HESITATION that I realize that you know I need to rely on myself and %HESITATION and then there was a freeze and I just wanted to make a lot of money you know I I wanted to do a lot of television shows offense and there was no set agenda the idea was to
just be famous and make money and I spent a good five six years doing that %HESITATION unsuccessfully of course %HESITATION which is when once four years back I realized that I'm actually here to just make a lot of money I might actually here to just by two beautiful flax inlay and Ono big got and get married and have two children I want to be bootleg really
want to be that guy who who owned two beautiful apartments and had a lovely kat and a beautiful wife and two billion children I think no this is not what I want to be you know I want to be someone who's most board at least a hundred memorable stories stories that people talk about while I'm alive and after that date %HESITATION that's what I want to
do you know and in the process if I make a lot of money it's great if I'm successful it's great if I'm not successful it's kind of all key you know because that's not something that I can control it fully but what I can control is I can choose to be part of the stories that I that I really believe in that I want to tell
what that someone else wants to tell but I'm really attracted to so I should be able to have hundred such successful marriages %HESITATION on hundred such %HESITATION memorable stories that people would remember over the next two hundred years %HESITATION which is when the biggest rewired happened to me %HESITATION which is when the first time I called the people at the White if you vote and I
saw this stuff and I said I really need to work with you guys %HESITATION I dunno how would we don't know I don't know what they would make or what studio has been part of what I just realized that you know the hottest in the right place at doing that the right kind of stuff the kind of stuff that I enjoy watching so that's when the
first thing I did but squalor permanent will meet %HESITATION which went pretty well I guess %HESITATION and the and of also once you meet the right people you also realize that the it's not about if they have enough funds to do the kind of stuff that you want to do it's about meeting the right bunch of people who believe in the same things that you believe
in and funds and everything they kind of fall into things kind of fall into place on their own but %HESITATION what DVD tool which makes the biggest difference is that they give you that environment they let you do what you want to do %HESITATION which is right that second thing that we wanted to do was a road trip CD's because we were all in all big
fans of road trips and %HESITATION but I was gonna sick of the whole idea of four friends going in a jeep drinking beer and this is not a road trip for me I mean I've I've seen it already %HESITATION view was seen it so we wanted to do was see these on your trip %HESITATION it had to be a little more deeply than that so which
is when the idea came that what if you do would retrieve CD's with three siblings you know because I've never done this and I don't think most people do it and they believed India again to completely back the idea %HESITATION and %HESITATION which is when we were able to do with this other CD scored below tripling %HESITATION which went pretty well so so I guess what
I've learned over the years is that every two to four years you need %HESITATION take a break %HESITATION have a beard and see what have you what you've done in the past four years Andy weir yourself and and then go for the next planned for the five years that you're going to spend %HESITATION thank you
