I don't know anyone who actually likes the dark or night-time. I don't care how much they say it doesn't bother them. That's why we used to huddle in caves and light fires when the sun went down. ↗

For a writer, they say write what you know. As a performer, you find it in yourself, in your heart. You relate to the character. You try to live it, try to have it be real for you. ↗

If you know you are on the right track, if you have this inner knowledge, then nobody can turn you off... no matter what they say. ↗
