It’s so funny to me how the people I admire most
in this world are the ones that took chances to stand out and be different from
the crowd. I love people that break out
of the norm, specifically in entertainment.
Yet when I try to do it myself, I get worried about breaking some kind
of mold that I’m supposed to form to. I’ve
always been a stickler for doing things “right.” All As, follow the rules,
etc. I wouldn’t say I’m boring but in
acting, doing things the “right” way is boring and doesn’t get you
noticed. It’s the crazy ones that
succeed!
Take for instance Helena Bonham Carter and Robert
Downey Jr. I love watching their work because
they are so unpredictable and they’re exciting to watch! And I want that! I want people to be so excited to watch me
because they have no idea what to expect.
Of course, I have to balance that out with truth so that you can believe
that I’m a real person. Many of you may
not know all of the levels of thought involved in being an actor, but this is
why we are crazy! We have to figure out
how to be outlandish and so unreal but still seem real so you invest in us enough
to come back for more! Honestly, how
many times have you asked your friends “did I seem like I was real then?”
So here is my utter predicament, how do I break
out of my shell that I’ve lived in for so many years? It’s like two sides of me are at war to seem
normal and put together or to be free, wild and exciting in everything that I
do. It’s Producer Kim vs Actor Kim and I
don’t know who will win! Ha ha! I guess the fact that I have two sides at war
already makes me a little crazy! So
yeah, I’m on my way to certified bonkers!
I’m working on it though. I got a
pet rabbit and named her Follow (the white rabbit) and I am running an Avengers
themed half marathon in two weeks so there’s that. I’ll be excitingly crazy before you know it
and hopefully you all will love watching my insanity bloom!
Shameless
