Passion basically has been declared a commodity of the moment. Everything has to be done with passion, people are being told that life will be more meaningful and more fulfilling if they follow their passions. But in the end, it’s just about selling something to someone. Live your passion! Find yourself. It’s all a load of nonsense.
What makes you think that?
Well, firstly, not everyone can stick it, to live their passion. And secondly, not everything is connected to passion. And third, not everyone might have these kinds of passion, so you can’t just make them appear out of thin air. Most importantly, there is no compelling factor, let alone a reason, to assume that anything will be improved if you live your passion. Just because you don’t have a burning passion for your job, does not automatically mean something is missing for you.
But for you, surely acting is a passion, no?
Not at all! It’s my profession, no different than it is for any other profession. In medicine, the best caregivers are those without passion. The doctors that are too passionate are very often the ones who make serious mistakes.
What mistakes would you make if you were an actor with passion?
The biggest of them all: I would try to convince you just how passionate I am. But actually, to me it’s all about the story. That there might be passion in there — or maybe you can’t completely free yourself of some passionate tendencies, that may well be. But it has nothing to the with the job itself.
