Actor Quote by Cuba Gooding Jr
“As an actor you have to keep working, were perishable fruit. Its an instrument and if you sit and wait too long a lot of the things you want to try, the mindset, different personalities you want to create. You can only ruminate about them for so long until you actually have to execute. Its almost like a great guitarist, its about that feeling of completion once you actually hit the chord and let the music be excised through your soul.”
