The Great Acting Blog: “Slay Those Sacred Cows”

Quitting smoking, we are lead to believe, is so difficult as to be almost impossible. It’s supposed to cause all sorts of nasty side effects, and require immense will power as well as professional medical assistance.

This is complete nonsense.

Quitting smoking causes no side effects whatsoever, doesn’t require any especial  amount of will power or medical help. In fact, quitting smoking is easy.

The reason we think quitting smoking is hard is because our culture indoctrinates us into believing it is (even medical institutions are complicit in this). I repeat: quitting smoking is not hard, it’s easy.

Acting possesses many sacred cows. Which are ones are a lie?
