The most universal and indispensable network on the planet somehow burgeoned without so muchasa boardofdirectors, never minda mergers-and- acquisitions department.

“Acting in general you just feel kind of stupid doing it anyway, but when you're pretending to be rolling around and dodging a foot or riding an ant, you're having to really do it seriously and there's nothing there. You've got to put faith in the process.” FeelsKindProcessActingFeetStupidPretendingRidingRollingAnts Author:Paul Rudd

“In professional wrestling, I think that they want you to be bigger than life. It's almost like an over-acting type thing - whereas on the big screen, you're 35 feet and they've got a close-up of you to put it on the screen in the movie house. At 35 feet, it's more subtlety than the overboard drama that we do in pro wrestling.” ThinkingWantBigsHouseActingFeetTypeDramaBiggerScreensWrestlingSubtletyOverboardBig ScreenPro WrestlingBigger Than LifeProfessional Wrestling Author:Kevin Nash
“I don't know a single person in life that doesn't have conflict. I don't really enjoy acting enough to not want to experience something that feels like it really affects things. It's like, if you were a surfer, would you want to surf where there was like two-foot waves, or would you want to surf on like ten-foot waves. To me, the more kind of dramatic stories are more exciting for me, to play with.” IfsKnowsWantFeelsKindPersonsTwoEnoughPlayStoriesEnjoyActingFeetTenConflictExcitingWaveDramaticSurfSingle PersonSurfer Author:Joaquin Phoenix
“An engineer can look at the data, but he needs a translator from the cockpit - the driver - to understand it completely. For example, only the driver can tell you why he abruptly takes his foot off the gas pedal at a certain point. The data doesn't necessarily tell the engineer whether the driver made a mistake at that point or the car was acting up. The information the driver provides often helps determine the direction of development.” NeedsLooksMadeHelpingCertainActingMistakeFeetCarInformationExampleDevelopmentDetermineDataGasDriversEngineersMade A MistakeTranslatorsPedalsCockpit Author:Michael Schumacher
“As a kid, I just was a contract player at MGM Studios.

So it took me many years to find my acting feet.” KnowsWayYearsDifferentKidsAgeActingRolesKnow HowPlayerWonderfulFeetGoodnessStudiosAwfulRangeUncomfortableContractsDistastefulMgm Author:Angela Lansbury
“Soaps are really like boot camp for acting. You learn about the industry, you learn about being on stage, and you learn about showing up on time.

“You've got to remember that improvisers are writers and actors and directors all simultaneously.
