Photography is a pursuit that allows you to be very hands-on with what you show people of either yourself or the art you want to make, and acting is kind of the exact opposite. You do have a modicum of creative freedom as an actor, but you're still very much a cipher for other people's art.

Conversation as talent exists only in France.

Madame de Stael
-
I'm more attracted to art that smashes than I am attracted to art that sits on a shelf and is beautiful.
