Do the Work Even When It Is Difficult

Stopping a piece of work because it's hard either emotionally or imaginatively is a bad idea. Sometimes you have to go on when you don't feel like it & and sometimes you're doing good work when all it feels like all you're managing to do is shovel shit from a sitting position. -Stephen King
This applies to acting too. It isn't to say you just push, or expend great effort to do good work. Pushing too hard isn't a solution, but giving up, stepping away simply because of emotional or imaginative challenges, doesn't help anyone. Be brave, even when it is scary.
