There’s an exercise we do where someone is sat behind you and you’re asked to close your eyes and fall backwards. That’s acting Picture Quote #1

Me being able to be acting and doing other things has opened me as an artist, and I think even more from a visual standpoint Picture Quote #1

What acting does bring that music doesn’t bring for me is the opportunity is the opportunity to be completely different in every way from whom you normally are, the person that you are when you wake up in the morning is who you are in your life. But to take that and have the opportunity to be the complete opposite of that, is the excitement of it Picture Quote #1

Acting is like painting pictures on bathroom tissues. Ten minutes later you throw them away and they are gone Picture Quote #1

We’re afraid that this anger or sorrow or loneliness is going to last forever... Instead, acting it out is what makes it last Picture Quote #1

Action based on reason, action therefore which is only to be understood by reason, knows only one end, the greatest pleasure of the acting individual Picture Quote #1

Reason’s biological function is to preserve and promote life and to postpone its extinction as long as possible. Thinking and acting are not contrary to nature; they are, rather, the foremost features of man’s nature. The most appropriate description of man as differentiated from nonhuman beings is: a being purposively struggling against the forces adverse to his life Picture Quote #1

Shock is shock. Your body goes into shock, regardless of it being real blood or fake blood. The mind sends powerful messages to all the various glands and secretions in the body. It’s impossible trying to act it; it just happens. It’s a very important question: no acting Picture Quote #1

I went through two schools of acting but I learned more about acting from meditating and from my marshall arts teacher Picture Quote #1

Fuzzy thinking leads to hesitancy in acting. Clear thinking makes it easier to act boldly and consistently Picture Quote #1

I just feel my way through. If I had to give an acting class, I wouldn’t know what to do Picture Quote #1

I suppose once in a while, a filmmaker makes a movie that’s more than just a sum of its parts, more than good acting or good filmmaking. It’s something else that has nothing to do with what you’ve done. This is in 1999, made by people in 1999 for people in 1999 about people in 1999 Picture Quote #1

When I was a freshman in high school, my drama teacher, an incredible, inspirational genius, the guy who got me into acting, he encouraged me to get the lead in a musical. They didn’t have any guys Picture Quote #1

You have to get beyond your own precious inner experiences. The actor cannot afford to look only to his own life for all his material nor pull strictly from his own experience to find his acting choices and feelings. The ideas of the great playwrights are almost always larger than the experiences of even the best actors Picture Quote #1

You once liked the blissful mobility, but then you wonder, who’s the real you? And who’s the chap on the screen? You know, I catch myself acting out my life like a goddamn script Picture Quote #1

Acting can be the healthiest profession in the world, because it allows you to do things you can’t do in real life. It allows you to understand more than just what life provides you Picture Quote #1

By taking elements you observe in life, you can develop qualities in your acting life that you don’t ordinarily call upon in your personal life Picture Quote #1

Learn to overrule minor interest in favor of great ones, and generously to do all the good the heart prompts; a man is never injured by acting virtuously Picture Quote #1

We had generals who were admirals and admirals who wanted to be generals. Generals acting as admirals are bad enough, but it was the admirals who wanted to be generals who imperiled victory among the coral islands Picture Quote #1

Consider before acting, to avoid foolishness: It is the worthless man who speaks and acts thoughtlessly Picture Quote #1

By acting as you wish yourself to be, in due course you will become as you act Picture Quote #1

No sin is committed merely because a thought enters the mind, provided it is not made welcome. Perhaps we may use the figure that the thought first passes into an anteroom, where it stands before the mind acting as a judge. No matter how sordid or evil, it has not touched the personality with its infamy nor in any way laid guilt upon the soul unless and until the mind acting as judge admits it with a welcome. If the mind decides against it and dismisses it, the personality is not only unsullied but is, on the contrary, by this act of rejection stimulated and strengthened in moral power Picture Quote #1

A people without children would face a hopeless future; a country without trees is almost as helpless; forests which are so used that they cannot renew themselves will soon vanish, and with them all their benefits. A true forest is not merely a storehouse full of wood, but, as it were, a factory of wood and at the same time a reservoir of water. When you help to preserve our forests or plant new ones you are acting the part of good citizens Picture Quote #1

If you ever want to study acting you should be around an enlightened person for a while, because all they do is play roles, since they no longer have a self Picture Quote #1

How does humility manifest itself in leadership and in life? A humble person is more concerned about what is right than about being right, about acting on good ideas than having the ideas, about embracing new truth than defending outdated position, about building the team than exalting self, about recognizing contribution than being recognized for making it Picture Quote #1
