What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given? Ooh. There was a letter written by Chekhov, the playwright, to his wife, Olga Knipper. It said something like – and I’m butchering this – “Take life step by step, pace by pace, slowly, slowly, and leave the competition to others.” Acting is quite a competitive field, and you can get caught up in that stuff, but if you just take your own path and concentrate on putting one foot in front of the other, then hopefully it works out.
