“There were time when I was into method acting that I did have moments of residual character emotions, because the method bases your emotional responses as a character on emotional experiences from your real life.” RealMomentsCharacterActingEmotionEmotionalBasesMethodResponseReal LifeEmotional ResponseResidualMethod Acting Author:Corin Nemec
“I like to talk about a thing I call a "practiced pause." Just a few moments of pausing allows me to consider a circumstance and take stock of what the best direction might be. Reactions tend to rise from habit and unconsidered action. A Response is considered and thoughtful. My actions are my own and I am, singularly, responsible for what I see, say, feel and exert.” FeelsMomentsMightActionMy OwnHabitCircumstancesResponsibleResponseReactionsThoughtfulAnnoyingPausesPausing Author:Mary Anne Radmacher
“Mindfulness is being aware of yourself, others, and your surroundings in the moment. When consciously and kindly focusing awareness on life as it unfolds minute by precious minute, you are better able to savor each experience. Also, being closely attentive gives you the opportunity to change unwise or painful feelings and responses quickly. In fact, being truly present in a mindful way is an excellent stress reducer and, because of that, can be seen as consciousness conditioning, a strengthening workout for body, mind, heart, and spirit.” WayGivingMindHeartMomentsFactsFeelingsBodyAbleSpiritOpportunityConsciousnessMinutesAwarenessMindfulnessStressResponsePainfulExcellentWorkoutSurroundingsConditioningStrengtheningUnwiseMind HeartOpportunity To ChangePainful Feelings Book:The Mindful Woman: Gentle Practices for Restoring Calm, Finding Balance, and Opening Your Heart Source: The Mindful Woman: Gentle Practices for Restoring Calm, Finding Balance, and Opening Your Heart
“Opening a play is just tough. The idea that actors are weirdly protected from it is a myth. If you imagine yourself having to spend two and a bit hours cooking bolognaise, remembering a whole major work by David Hare and speaking it at the correct moment between chopping carrots and stirring the onions in front of an audience - the normal human response is 'Please, can I go to the airport?'” IfsHumansTwoIdeasPlayWholeMomentsRememberActorsBitsHoursAudienceImagineFrontsPleaseNormalMajorsToughCookingResponseMythOpeningProtectedAirportsStirringOnionsCarrotsHaresChopping Author:Bill Nighy
“I learned a lot from the stories my uncle, aunts, and grandparents told me: that no one is perfect but most people are good; that people can't be judged only by their worst or weakest moments; that harsh judgements make hypocrites of us all; that a lot of life is just showing up and hanging on; that laughter is often the best, and sometimes only response to pain.” PeopleLifeSometimesMomentsStoriesPainLife IsPerfectWorstLaughterResponseJudgementJudgedHarshUnclesGrandparentAuntHypocriteShowing UpHanging On Author:William J.

“As a work progresses, its power to elicit and dictate response mounts. There seems to be an optimum moment when this power is at its greatest which just precedes the point where 'elicit' is no longer apt usage. 'Dictates' is the word for this condition and tyranny is the adversary.” MomentsSeemsPowerProgressConditionsResponseTyrannyAdversariesUsageOptimum Author:Richard Diebenkorn
“Each contact is an opportunity for your own unique satsang with your Self, not in some strained or contrived way, but by keeping your mind inside your Heart, by trusting the inner guru and by recognizing each moment as perfect in itself and by simply being your Self. This is the true and natural responsibility or rather 'response-ability', the ability to respond effortlessly to the needs of the moment.” WayNeedsMindHeartSelfMomentsOpportunityNaturalAbilityPerfectResponsibilityUniqueResponseContactRecognizingGuruSatsang Author:Mooji

“[In response to Alfred Tennyson's poem "Vision of Sin," which included the line "Every moment dies a man, every moment one is born."] If this were true, the population of the world would be at a stand-still. In truth, the rate of birth is slightly in excess of death. I would suggest that the next edition of your poem should read: "Every moment dies a man, every moment 1 [and] 1/16 is born." Strictly speaking, the actual figure is so long I cannot get it into a line, but I believe the figure 1 [and] 1/16 will be sufficiently accurate for poetry.” IfsMenWorldShouldBelieveLongStillsMomentsWould BeDiesNextI BelieveBornLinesSinVisionFiguresBirthResponseRatePopulationExcessAccurateTennyson Author:Charles Babbage
