“I generally play villains once every three or four years by choice because I get offered villainous roles a lot, because of the way I look and whatever. And I tend to avoid them because I think you can end up in a cul-de-sac of your own making if you're cast in that.” IfsThinkingWayYearsLooksEndsPlayChoicesThreeRolesFourCastsVillainFour Years Author:Kevin McKidd

“Acting is a difficult profession, it really is. It's different than singing. With singing you may have one song and four people to record it - but they'll all do it differently and they'll all have that option. Whereas with actors there might be one part, and five hundred actors all want the same role - it's so much more competitive. It's an incredibly painful profession because you get so much rejection.” PeopleWantMayDifferentMightSongActorsDifficultActingRolesRecordsFiveFourSingingHundredPainfulProfessionRejection Author:Olivia Newton-John
“Four- and five-year-olds' play is permeated with the rankest sexism. No matter what their parents do and say, they play their momand pop roles in ultraconventional style. We've seen little girls whose mothers are doctors absolutely refuse to take the doctors' parts in their play, insisting that "only boys can be doctors," against all reason. Girls do more washing and drying of clothes, dishes, and babies than they've ever seen their own mothers do, and they turn their play husbands into TV-watching drones who do nothing but talk about money.” YearsChildrenLittlesMatterReasonPlayMotherTurnsGirlParentBoysRolesFiveFourStyleTvsBabyHusbandClothesDoctorsNo Matter WhatRefusePopsFive YearsSexismDishesWashingDronesFive Year OldsInsistingChildren Playing Author:Stella Chess
“Each of us plays four roles in relation to the brain. We lead, we inspire, we invent, and we use it. Most people do not actively use their brains. They passively let their feelings and thoughts control their lives. They don't invent new ways to use their brains, either, settling instead for the same routine and repetitive thoughts every day. But if you master all four roles, you create your super brain. When you are the active observer of your feelings and thoughts, you become the user of your brain. Your super brain then serves you, not vice versa.” PeopleIfsWayPlayUseFeelingsBrainRolesFourInspireMastersRelationVicesActiveSettlingRoutineUsersNew WaysObserversVice VersaRepetitive Author:Deepak Chopra
“Yet Buddhism is four hundred years older than Christianity, and if it's not a universal religion I don't know what a universal religion is.
