I lapped up reading about Cillian Murphy's work ethic. So rare to read about such a grounded and humble artist. I hadn't been aware of his focus on only doing films that challenge him or are close to his heart, rather than heading to Hollywood at the first opportunity. And eventually a leading role with fame found him anyway via Oppenheimer.
My question to you is: How do you stay focused on the work when the spotlight isn’t guaranteed?

Hi, Alexandra Stevens. I stay focused on the work when the spotlight by focusing on the work instead of what comes afterward (selling a script, name in the trades, etc.).

Hi Alexandra Stevens I stay focused on the work and not worry about the spotlight, because the work itself is the purpose. I love acting. Taking apart a script, building a character's bio, challenging myself, that is fun for me. Do what you love and you never work a day in your life. Acting is like manifesting, focus on the end results not the hows.
