Dear Mr. Culkin,
I’ve seen a few pieces about you in the news lately, particularly surrounding your new book. Stories that reference your Q&A with Time Magazine suggest that you are having an existential crisis about your place in the world. This is certainly not a feeling that’s exclusive to former child actors, of course. But what especially struck me was a quote in which you say “I don’t know what people want from me.” Perhaps this is true for most celebrities, but the circumstances in your life may have led you to feel that you need to be what people want you to be. Resist! From reading your chat with David Amsden of New York Magazine it seems that you are beginning to do just that.
I thoroughly enjoyed your performance in “Saved,” and when I saw the film I thought, “this is great, he let some time pass and now he can do what he wants to do.” If I thought you were trying to please anyone but yourself I would be disappointed.
Truly,
Liz Mann
