“With drama, you need to be laughing, in between takes, 'cause you're going to those recesses of your soul and those dangerous parts. Normally, if you're not an actor or some crazy artist, you don't feel the need to run around in those areas. You keep them separate because it's painful.” IfsNeedsFeelsSoulRunningArtistActorsCausesLaughingCrazyDangerousDramaAreasPainfulYour SoulRecess Author:Josh Peck

“It's disheartening that animal people criticize societies that enlist the help of actors or organize creative acts like 'I'd rather go naked than wear fur,' to increase public awareness to our cause. These are great/courageous ideas which time has come! Liberation of animals is REVOLUTION - not elegant performance/ intellectual competition.

“Actions are interesting to watch. I learn about the actors. Their movements are emblems of the tensions in this internal landscape, which their actions resolve. About-to-act is an interesting state to experience, because I am conscious of just those tensions.

Acting is only interesting as it leads to new tensions that, irrelevantly, cause me to act again.” FeelsStatesActionActorsCausesInterestingActingConsciousnessWatchesMovementConsciousLandscapeTensionDullInternalsResolveEmblems Book:Dhalgren Source: Dhalgren

“One of the most, in a weird way, encouraging things a director can say to an actor - I know this as an actor - is when you ask them a question, they say, I don't know - 'cause it means there's some space there for you to find out.
