Most important decision, a moment to change, handling confrontation
I guess the most important decision in my life was becoming an actor, because it did give me a direction. I was some kind of a drifter and acting has helped me a lot in channeling some of those emotions and energies that have brought me to live in three different continents before I was twenty five. Then, obviously for me, some decisions are the most important at that point in your life and years after or before you have made other decisions just as important at that specific moment. I guess what I’m trying to say is that in a life mostly ordinary like mine has been, there are very few most important decisions and that odds are, they are all relative to the circumstances.
If there is a moment I would change in my past...no, I don’t think so. I can’t think of anything in particular that I would change. Yes, there are always regrets of one kind or another, but I have always lived trying to be true to what and who I was at the moment and it’s way to easy to say ‘hey, I’d change that’ with the knowledge of the events after they have happened. Hindsight is not something I value much. As hurtful as it can be, mistakes are too precious to discard in retrospection. I’m afraid I’m one of those people who need to bang their heads against the wall a few times before they claim defeat. And no, I’m not proud of it, but I don’t pretend to be different or better from what I am.
Confrontation is a whole other matter. I can discuss, I can yell, I can reason, I can give up, I can put my foot down, I can lose it like anyone else. I tend to be pretty stubborn, though. I’d say that’s my most defining trait. And that’s usually how I handle confrontation, if there’s something I want to obtain, I will go on my way until I achieve it. I am not particularly sarcastic, though I can have my moments, nor offensive, though, again, if the need arises...I’ve been in fights where I had no hope of winning - that’s how I got the scar on my chin - and I have won fights. I could probably choose my battles better, but hey, I’m no genius. There are a few people I care about that I would defend with my life if necessary, so I suppose you could say that in the case of extreme hostile confrontation, I would be brave enough. I hope so. If it were just me, I could just as easily run as fast as I can. It all depends on the reasons for confrontation, I think. Is it worth it? That’s the real question. If it is, then, well, I’ll go all the way until I drop.
