I like the phrase "quiet, public solitude" and as much as I am not an actor...being a computer programmer, occasional writer, and hopefully one day a video game designer, I often feel like I approach things from a direction that most people just don't see. I think many of us who know how to truly tap into our creativity and passion end up walking a lonely road, but as long as you keep that connection to the world you can always find your way back. :D
