“Applause is an instinctive, unconscious act expressing the sympathy between actors and audience. Just as our art demands more instinct than intellect in its exercise, so we demand of those who watch us an apppreciation of the simple unconscious kind which finds an outlet in clapping rather than the cold intellectual approval which would self-consciously think applause derogatory. I have yet to meet the actor who was sincere in saying that he disliked applause.” ThinkingKindArtSelfActorsSimpleWatchesAudienceColdExerciseDemandIntellectualTheaterInstinctIntellectUnconsciousSincereApprovalOutletsApplauseClappingDerogatoryActors And Audience Book:The Story of My Life: Recollections and Reflections Source: The Story of My Life: Recollections and Reflections
“The real test is this one: When you're alone in a room, when you're in a private place and nobody else can see you, what do you choose to do? Eat well, or eat poorly? Exercise, or watch television? Practice something, or do nothing? The best version of the truth appears to you and you alone, when nobody else can see. This is the test of discipline, and it's what makes the difference in your life. It's what regulates your own system and guides it. The individual alone comprehends it.” WellsRealIndividualDifferencesRoomsWatchesPracticeTelevisionDisciplineExerciseTestsGuidesVersionsYou Choose Author:Georges St-Pierre
