“Stage actors are usually much more conscious of speaking up and making sure that everyone can hear in the back of the theatre; a film actor probably thinks of that a little less. Unfortunately, there's a style of acting going round, especially with the younger actors, where they talk without even moving their lip. Maybe it's because my hearing probably isn't what it was 40 years ago but I'm sitting there going "What did they say"?” ThinkingYearsLittlesFilmMovingActorsActingStageStyleConsciousSittingYears AgoRoundsLipsHearingTheatreSpeaking UpFilm ActorsStage Actors Author:Clint Eastwood
“Meditation does not imply only the development of single-pointed concentration, sitting in some corner doing nothing. Meditation is an alert state of mind, the opposite of sluggishness; meditation is wisdom. You should remain aware every moment of your daily life, fully conscious of what you are doing and how you are doing it.” LifeShouldMindDoeStatesMomentsWisdomMeditationDevelopmentConsciousSittingOppositesCornersConcentrationDaily LifeState Of MindDoing Nothing Author:Thubten Yeshe
“Set aside all involvements and let the myriad things rest. Zazen is not thinking of good, not thinking of bad. It is not conscious endeavour. It is not introspection. Do not desire to become a buddha; let sitting or lying down drop away. Be moderate in eating and drinking. Be mindful of the passing of time, and engage yourself in zazen as though you are saving your head from fire.” ThinkingLyingDesireFireEatingConsciousSittingDrinkingPassingPassingsSavingIntrospectionModeratesInvolvementEndeavourLying DownEating And Drinking Author:Dogen
“James Wilkie is so conscious of the time we spend together. I try to be home to tuck him in at least four nights a week, and if I'm not, he's not letting me get away with anything. The other night I was sitting with him on the steps before Matthew and I went out to the theater, and he looked at me and said, `Mama, this has got to stop. Go upstairs and take that dress off.'” IfsTryingSaidHomeTogetherMotherNightStepsFourWeekMomConsciousSittingTheaterDressesMotherhoodGet AwayMamaMatthewUpstairs Author:Sarah Jessica Parker
“Meditation does not mean just sitting quietly for five or ten minutes. It requires conscious effort. The mind has to be made calm and quiet; at the same time, it has to be vigilant so as not to allow any distracting thoughts or desires to enter.” MindMeanDoeMadeDesireEffortFiveMeditationMinutesQuietTenConsciousSittingCalmVigilantSitting Quietly Book:Meditation: Man-perfection in God-satisfaction Source: Meditation: Man-perfection in God-satisfaction
