“I recommend learning how to come into the presence of stillness and vastness. Learn any form of meditation. Spend twenty minutes every day if possible, in meditation, listening to the crazy monkey mind inside you, and learning how to still the thoughts and discover that big, deep soulful part of yourself.” IfsMindStillsBigsFormMeditationCrazyMinutesListeningTwentiesStillnessMonkeysVastnessSoulfulMonkey Mind Author:Elizabeth Lesser
“It is like being in the desert. At first you listen to the absence of sounds and call it silence. Then suddenly you may be taken by the presence of stillness where you are one with listening itself.” FirstsMaySoundSilenceTakenListeningAbsenceDesertWhere You AreStillness Book:Who Am I?: The Sacred Quest Source: Who Am I?: The Sacred Quest
“I will do plays as long as they're interested in having me do them. It's the biggest opportunity to learn the most about how to act. Something I discover every time I'm doing one is how little I know about acting - how important the art of listening is, and how important it is to listen with your entire body. You can tell so much of a story with stillness, and a lot of that can be from really actively listening to your scene partner.” LongArtImportantOpportunityActingListeningSceneStillness Author:Sarah Paulson
