“The effort to improve the conditions of man, however, is not a task for the few. It is the task of all nations-acting alone, acting in groups, acting in the United Nations, for plague and pestilence, plunder and pollution, the hazards of nature and the hunger of children are the foes of every nation. The earth, the sea and the air are the concern of every nation. And science, technology and education can be the ally of every nation.” MenChildrenEarthNationsUnitedEffortActingTechnologyGroupsAirSeaConditionsConcernTasksEnvironmentalHungerAlliesPollutionUnited NationsFoePlagueHazardsPlunderPestilenceScience TechnologyTechnology And Education Author:John F.

“Acting's an odd profession for a young person; it's so extreme. You work, and the conditions are tough and the process is so immersive, and then it stops, and then there's nothing. So you have to find ways of making you feel productive when you're not actually producing anything. For a young person, that's really challenging.” WayFeelsPersonsYoungProcessChallengesActingConditionsToughExtremesProfessionOddProductive Author:Michelle Pfeiffer

“Thought is not what inhabits a certain conduct and gives it its meaning; rather, it is what allows one to step back from this way of acting or reacting, to present it to oneself as an object of thought and to question it as to its meaning, its conditions, and its goals. Thought is freedom in relation to what one does, the motion by which one detaches from it, establishes it as an object, and reflects on it as a problem.” WayGivingDoeProblemCertainGoalActingStepsConditionsObjectsRelationOneselfReacting Author:Michel Foucault
“I love the whole kind of notion of transformation for me is (what) excites me about not only acting, but storytelling. I love, I love that notion of a slightly larger-than-life artistic truth, you know, magnifying real emotional truth (or) finding something about human condition (which), you wouldn't necessarily think you can learn from characters such as Kong or Gollum, but actually they are, you know, these huge amplifications of a human psyche and I suppose those kind of roles have always attracted me definitely.” ThinkingKnowsHumansKindRealWholeCharacterActingRolesConditionsEmotionalHugeFindingsTransformationNotionStorytellingArtisticHuman ConditionLarger Than LifeMagnifyingHuman PsycheAmplification Author:Andy Serkis
“I can still function when I don't have that balance I crave. I had a tendency to be precious about acting, thinking of it as something mercurial that required all the right conditions, but now I know that even if I don't get any sleep, I can still work, I can power through. The stars don't have to be perfectly aligned for me to do a good job.” IfsThinkingKnowsStillsI CanJobsStarsSleepActingConditionsBalanceFunctionTendenciesGood JobCrave Author:Laura Regan
