Hiding my migraines on the set may have been my toughest challenge as an actor.

It is time to return to close reading, to a serious and painstaking examination of an author’s methods, of his style. Do not be deterred by headaches.

At the very last moment, just before its lips claimed hers, its grip on her face relaxed slightly and she did the only thing she could think of: She head-butted it. Snapped her head back, then forward again, and bashed it square in the face as hard as she could. So hard, in fact, that it made her woozy and gave her an instant migraine, making her wonder how Jean-Claude Van Damme always managed to coolly continue fighting after such a stunt.

I didn’t fit into the Christian college my parents sent me to. I felt tarnished by tragedy, between my brother’s death and Escuela Caribe, and everyone else seemed so carefree and happy and praising God. I couldn’t stand happy people for a long time, and was plagued by chronic migraines and stomach aches. I’d say between age thirteen and twenty-three was the most miserable time of my life.

Because I work at other things, whenever I get a chance to write I feel grateful for it. But I learned that sometimes, I couldn’t do anything else and I shouldn’t plan to do anything that night or the next day. There were times when I was writing something difficult for days or weeks and when I’d finish, I would get up and go out of my shed into the garden and be sick. I had terrible migraines.
