“I always have a deep-seated fear that it can all go away, and it can. You can not get work very easily,” Rose Byrne says, recounting how she’d read an interview with Julianne Moore, who admitted to panicking about never working again at the end of each film.
“I’m starting to know how the world works a bit, and I’m learning more and more that the only thing that matters is what happens between ‘action’ and ‘cut’.
But fear can also be so intense it becomes anxiety, showing up as stage fright, or a deep fear of being inadequate.
That sort of fear interferes with your creative work and ability to be authentic on stage, so it is worth dealing with it, with therapy or a variety of self-help approaches.
