The acting is something that will always be a part of my life, but the writing gives me a lot more creative freedom. You're a pawn in somebody else's chess game, whereas as a writer and as a director, you get to call the shots. And that's very thrilling.

In chess, pawns may seem weak but are essential for defense and attack strategy.

Chess Basics

A pawn that reaches the opponent's end of the board can be promoted, usually to a queen.

Promotion Potential

Being called a pawn implies being controlled by others, without real power or say.

Manipulation Context

A pawn is often someone who is unsuspecting or unknowingly being used.

Innocent Bystander

To pawn something usually shows a person is in urgent need of money.

Financial Desperation

Pawning is not selling; it's a loan with the intent of reclaiming the pawned item later.

Temporary Solution

Becoming a pawn in the financial sense often means all other options are exhausted.

Last Resort

If a loan isn't repaid, the pawned item becomes the property of the pawnbroker.
