In a recent interview, Oscar award-winning actor Judi Dench stated ‘I was told I would never make a film. This is because I have the wrong face,’ yet the British actor has starred in many movies in her illustrious career and attained enough accolades and awards to fill the length of even the longest forearms. If Ms.Dench had taken such a critique to heart, it would have deprived us as moviegoers deeply.
The best-intentioned advice may often be flawed and based on another person’s perception rather than fact.
Rather than accepting all feedback as correct, we should ask ourselves:
- where is the advice coming from,
- what do they know that you don’t know, and even more so,
- what do they not know about you or the situation that you know?
If you are determined to put in the hard work and have the determination, a movie will be made just for your face.
