He continued, “Luckily, I have a good equilibrium. But I would definitely lie more, I guess. In a nice way. I’d just lie more, and not say what I actually felt. I felt that there was some kind of honour in telling the truth, even if that truth looked angry. And no one gives a s**t. No one cares about your truth. They just don’t want to be talked to in a certain way.”

Jim said that he is now progressing to a point where he can still be honest, but in a kinder way. “But if I had to go back, I’d say, ‘Listen, you weren’t able to say what you wanted to say in a kinder way, just lie. Lie. Forget it. Go into a room, scream into a pillow…” Affecting a mock positive attitude, Jim revealed what he would’ve said to a hypothetical film producer: “I love that you somehow can’t afford a car to take us back home even though you’re paying us nothing at all, and the main actor drove up like this… I love that! I’m going to take the train.'”

Jim said that no one besides close friends actually cares about one’s pain. “Lie! Lie a lot,” he said, adding that his mother gave him this advice. Jim will soon be seen in his first Telugu film, starring Nagarjuna and Rashmika Mandanna.
