The most popular of these books is Self-Management for Actors: Getting Down to (Show) Business, which has been named one of The Top Ten Best Books on Acting Ever Written and is featured on the Tom Cruise actor resource blog.

She tours the world teaching curriculum based on this top-selling book as a guest instructor at colleges, universities, actors' unions, and private acting studios. She also works as a private coach to creatives eager to bring a sense of control and fun to their storytelling journeys.

Bonnie Gillespie, New York Book Tour, 2018

Live your dreams. If you don&#39;t, someone else will! -- July 2000

If I had known how popular going into casting would make me, I would&#39;ve
done it in high school. -- July 2003

Any time I see someone succeed I am happy, for it affirms my belief that I live in a world where success is possible. -- March 2005

If you play the odds, there is no reason to ever attempt a career in show business. If you live your dreams, there&#39;s no excuse not to. -- June 2006

Have fun; don&#39;t suck. [September 2009]
