“This career essentially chased me down while I was on the spoken-word scene in New York. I kept hearing that my delivery of my poetry - which was very personal and cathartic at the time- was very moving to folks. People thought that I was an actress because of my delivery, when I was just dropping into the work and really pouring out my soul.” PeopleSoulMovingCareersNew YorkSceneFolksHearingActressesMy SoulDroppingDeliveryPouringSpoken WordCatharticVery Moving Author:Sonja Sohn

“Stage actors are usually much more conscious of speaking up and making sure that everyone can hear in the back of the theatre; a film actor probably thinks of that a little less. Unfortunately, there's a style of acting going round, especially with the younger actors, where they talk without even moving their lip. Maybe it's because my hearing probably isn't what it was 40 years ago but I'm sitting there going "What did they say"?” ThinkingYearsLittlesFilmMovingActorsActingStageStyleConsciousSittingYears AgoRoundsLipsHearingTheatreSpeaking UpFilm ActorsStage Actors Author:Clint Eastwood
“These wickets of the soul are plac'd so high, Because all sounds do highly move aloft; And that they may not pierce too violently, They are delay'd with turns and twinings oft. For should the voice directly strike the brain, It would astonish and confuse it much; Therefore these plaits and folds the sound restrain. That it the organ may more gently touch.” ShouldMaySoulMovingTurnsSoundVoiceBrainHearingStrikesOrgansDelayFoldsPiercePlaits Author:Sir John Davies
“To know that you are God is another way of saying that you feel completely with this universe. You feel profoundly rooted in it and connected with it. You feel, in other words, that the whole energy, which expresses itself in the galaxies, is intimate. It is not something to which you are a stranger, but it is that with which you, whatever it is, are intimately bound up. That in your seeing, your hearing, your talking, your thinking, your moving, you express that which it is that moves the sun and other stars.” ThinkingKnowsWayFeelsWholeMovingUniverseEnergyStarsTalkingSunSeeingBoundsStrangerConnectedHearingIntimateRootedGalaxyAnother Way Author:Alan Watts
