With acting I am being led by the script, other actors, the director, etc. But with songwriting I feel it is much more self reliant and allows me to be in the creative experience without being as dependent on others.
Meaning of the quote
When you act in a movie, you have to follow the script, work with other actors, and listen to the director's instructions. But when you write songs, you can be more independent and create your own ideas without relying as much on others. Songwriting allows you to be more directly involved in the creative process and express yourself in a more personal way.

More quotes from Helen Slater
It may not be the most popular but there is a place for it. I think about the kind of music I love, acoustic, melodic, and I guess it kind of took a bit of courage on my part to think I could be one of those songwriters.

I am less selfish. But I am more insistent on being part of the creative experience. I find I am a better mother, lover and wife when I am writing. When my daughter was small I wasn’t writing as much and I didn’t miss it.
