When working as an actor, it is found that the most difficult task is not portraying others, but understanding oneself; when working as a writer creating stories, the most challenging aspect is not constructing the plot, but empathizing with the characters. The origins of these two roles' outward imaginations also involve inward exploration - this proposition closely related to life seems to offer a direction worth delving into when contemplating the meaning of art.
