“Historically, labor unions arose when people had gotten a taste of a different lifestyle and were willing to pay a lot more for their basic livelihood and had gotten into a fix they couldn't get out of - because they had accepted the unacceptable to begin with. Accepting something you have to form a labor union to fight after the fact only tells me that people were acting against their own best (or even good) interests for a long time. I don't see any rational, coherent explanation for this sort of behavior in humans, but it's all over the place.” PeopleHumansLongDifferentFactsFormFightingInterestPayActingAcceptingWillingTasteBehaviorLong TimeLaborUnionsAcceptedLifestyleRationalExplanationLivelihoodLabor UnionDifferent Lifestyles Author:Erik Naggum

“If you choose to do both [acting and directing] on a set, than you're admitting that you understand that everyone is in it for the same goal and it's a collaborative experience. You can't really jump into being an actor, and than direct yourself. At some point, you have to be willing to accept other people's opinions. I think that's helpful. If you try to micro-manage and control all of it, than you're probably heading for disaster.” PeopleIfsThinkingTryingActorsGoalActingAcceptingOpinionWillingDirectDisasterManageHelpfulYou ChooseHeadingsAdmitting Author:Rebecca Hall
