“The modern artist is living in a mechanical age and we have a mechanical means of representing objects in nature such as the camera and photograph. The modern artist, it seems to me, is working and expressing an inner world - in other words - expressing the energy , the motion and the other inner forces ... the modern artist is working with space and time , and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating.” WorldMeanFeelingsSeemsAgeArtistEnergyForceSpaceModernObjectsCamerasPhotographTime And SpaceRepresentingInner WorldModern ArtIllustrating Author:Jackson Pollock

“The modern age has been characterized by a Promethean spirit, a restless energy that preys on speed records and shortcuts, unmindful of the past, uncaring of the future, existing only for the moment and the quick fix. The earthly rhythms that characterize a more pastoral way of life have been shunted aside to make room for the fast track of an urbanized existence. Lost in a sea of perpetual technological transition, modern man and woman find themselves increasingly alienated from the ecological choreography of the planet.” MenWayLifeHas BeensMomentsAgePastSpiritEnergyLostRoomsExistenceRecordsSeaModernPlanetsMen And WomenTrackSpeedRhythmTransitionPerpetualTechnologicalRestlessPreyEcologicalShortcutsChoreographyModern ManModern AgeUncaringQuick Fixes Book:Time Wars: The Primary Conflict in Human History Source: Time Wars: The Primary Conflict in Human History

“A large part of how an actor works and their process is the stimulation of what's around you, and none more so than in a period piece. This is a modern piece, as much as it is set in a different time, age and myth. If it wasn't relevant, it wouldn't have been made and we wouldn't be putting our energy into it. It's relevant for us today because, in some ways, it throws up a mirror to all of us.
