Don't ever let anybody make you feel bad about what rings what your bell
Michael Sheen did this interview. Some Nye spoilers, but the last 2-3 minutes - oh dear god. What can I say. The way this man speaks up for fandoms and weirdos like us because he is one of us. The creativity and community I've found because of doing exactly what he says... Anyway, just listen, just read.
I've transcribed so I can read it over and over.
"Don't ever let anybody make you feel bad about what rings what your bell, you know, what tickles your fancy, about what gets your creative imagination going.
What you're into: you're into! Don't ever feel embarrassed about it, don't ever let anyone take that away from you because it's only by holding on to that that you will get to where you need to go.
If you give up on that or apologize for it or feel embarrassed or hide it...
It's only by digging into those things that you will find exactly where you need to be ultimately that's what will get you there and so don't ever ever..
I mean, first of all, find out what you're into, right, like, explore the world. Explore the inner world of your mind. What is it that makes you excited and really gets your mind going.
You know, Joseph Campbell, writer Joseph Campbell, talked about follow your bliss and don't ever feel like YOUR bliss is not good enough compared to somebody else's or people that 'I feel a bit embarrassed' or 'It's a guilty pleasure' - all that stuff, forget that.
If it does it for you then that's your path, follow that path 'cause that's the path that will take you where you need to go."
