FUCK POLITE!!!
"I wish the stage were as narrow as the wire of a tightrope dacer, so that no incompetent would dare step upon it"- Johann von Goethe
"Theatre is the safe place to do the unsafe things that need to be done." -John Patrick Shanley
"if you are really doing what you say youre doing, you dont have time to think about it, you only have time to do it." -Meisner
Vulnerable: liable or subject to injury or attack; insufficiently defended
defensive: an involuntary mechanism that saves us from shame, anxiety or loss of self esteem.
an ounce of behavior is worth a pound of words.
WE ARE LIMITED BY WHAT IS REAL.
acting is the ability to live truthfully under imaginary circumstances
always be specific
every little moment has a meaning all of its own.
stay in the moment
live fully- moment to moment- that is reality
dont do anything untl something happens to make you do it.
LISTEN, observe, LISTEN, really look, LISTEN, concentrate, LISTEN
act before you thing. your instincts are more honest than your thoughts.
there is no such thing as genial charm
thhere is no such thing as nothing.
silence can say a lot. it can also cover up a magnitude of sins.
dont take anything for granted.
FIND IN YOURSELF THOSE HUMAN THINGS THAT ARE UNIVERSAL.
"Whatever you decide is your motivation in the scene, the opposite of that is also true and should be in the scene." - Michael Shurtleff
"You have to get beyond your own precious inner experiences. The actor cannot afford to look only to his own life for all his material nor pull strictly from his own experience to find his acting choices and feelings. The ideas of the great playwrights are almost always larger than the experiences of even the best actors." - Stella Adler
"Work for the actor lies essentially in two areas: the ability to consistently create reality and the ability to express that reality." - Lee Strasberg
"Consistency is the death of good acting." - Michael Shurtleff
"Acting is happy agony." - Jean-Paul Sartre
!!the foundation of acting is the reality of doing!!
