When I tell people that I'm an actor, I'll often hear something to the effect of it being ''my dream''.
Wanna hear a secret?
It's not my dream. I've known this since the first time I heard it characterized as such. I guess it can be for others, but I can't see how it could be.
Have you ever seen a dream? They're huge. Acting? A dream?
It's too small.
SO. Since I figured out what it isn't, I began putting some thought into what it is.
I think I've stated here before that I once wanted to save Black people.
Eventually, thad grew into wanting to be a superhero when I grow up. I just wantBut, I don't think I thought of that in terms of being a dream.
Maybe it's because I thought of ''a dream'' as being something more tangible, active.
Or, maybe, I thought ''dream'' to be something more fantastic.

So, here we are at ''now''.
Hm.
And I think I may have figured out what my ''dream'' might be.
...
I want to be elemental,
a force of nature,
the literal and figurative embodiment of the penultimate singularity: Creation.
I want to be a sentient Act of God.
