“When you're in your early 20s, a lot of characters can be one or two dimensional. You want a role to substantiate the drama, as opposed to actually analyzing the psychology of a human being. That's what drew me to acting, particularly the contradictions in people.” PeopleWantHumansTwoCharacterHuman BeingsActingRolesPsychologyDramaContradictionAnalyzingEarly 20s Author:Tom Hughes
“I didn't want to be around anybody because it was just too much for my brain. But, as an actress, you hope you get those meaty roles that push you into the extremities of that psychology. I like doing independent films because there's more room for you to be creative, and the director allowed me to just go wherever I needed to go. It was emotional. I had to cry a lot.” WantFilmRoomsBrainRolesCreativePsychologyToo MuchCryEmotionalNeededDirectorsIndependentActressesBe CreativeIndependent FilmExtremity Author:Tinsel Korey
“There are some indications of how the character should behave based on the script, and then as actor makes it his or her own. I got to know one of the writers, Chris Terrio, and we were able to discuss things at length and figure out who this person is to create a real psychology behind what is, perhaps, in a comic book, a less than totally modern psychology.

“The three branches of somaesthetics: the analytic study of the body's role in perception, experience, and action and thus in our mental, moral, and social life; the pragmatic study of methodologies to improve our body-mind functioning and thus expand our capacities of self-fashioning; and the practical branch that investigates such pragmatic methods by testing them on our own flesh in concrete experience and practice.” MindSelfPhilosophyBodyActionThreeSocialMoralRolesPracticeStudyPsychologyPerceptionCapacityMethodMedicineFleshSensesPracticalsBranchesConcreteTestingSocial LifePragmaticMethodologyAnalyticsSoma Author:Richard Shusterman
