HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE INTERVIEW

Broadening our definition of what an actor or artist is
How true actors, working in a job are not, are still actors
How to anchor yourself when the culture wants to define what success looks like
The power of tenacity
What makes someone do what they love to do?
How artists have to live inside the unknown
The arts live in the heart; they come from a heart-centric existence
The genesis of The Standing Nation, Mik’s individual response to our collective  climate crisis, based on our relationship with trees
