who said you pursue your art for your own pleasure, for the pleasure (hopefully) of others, but never in the expectation of making money.
Once you're doing something only for the money, it's just a job. It might be writing, music, illustration - so- called 'art' - but you're only shilling. They're not your ideas, your vision. Your heart isn't really in it. You're only acting the part. Being paid for a labour of love is the icing on the cake, not the cake itself.
Nick-the-Knife's advice is good. I'd say 'join a theatre workshop.' Better still, start up your own. You can work out a lot of shit without spending money you don't have and you'll (hopefully) meet some pretty interesting people.
You've nothing to lose, have you?
