“The Jews are among the aristocracy of every land; if a literature is called rich in the possession of a few classic tragedies, what shall we say to a national tragedy lasting for fifteen hundred years, in which the poets and the actors were also the heroes.” IfsYearsActorsLiteratureRichLandPoetHeroHundredTragedyJewPossessionClassicLastingFifteenAristocracy Author:George Eliot
“People need to understand. If they go to a show on Broadway and find seventy people working but only fifty spectators, how much would the ticket cost? That's what El Bulli's about. There are seventy actors who are playing for just fifty spectators. Is the price expensive? It's relative. How much does a normal dinner at a five-star hotel restaurant cost? Four hundred dollars. It's the same as El Bulli. But you can also think of it this way: How much would it cost to eat something that nobody else is eating?” PeopleIfsThinkingWayNeedsDoeShowsActorsStarsFiveFourCostNormalEatingHundredDollarsDinnerRestaurantsExpensiveFiftyHotelRelativeTicketsSeventiesBroadwaySpectators Author:Ferran Adria

“No one is really a method actor, everyone has their way of going about it, preparing for it, but method is preparation, it's what you do to prepare. So my method is to read the script. Some actors' method is to read the script a hundred times and in the doing of it, to immerse themselves in as much of the reality as possible. Me, I believe strictly in acting. If I am out of breath, I'm out of breath. I ain't running nowhere.” IfsWayBelieveRealityRunningActorsI BelieveActingHundredBreathsMethodScriptsPreparationPreparing Author:Morgan Freeman
