More From Helen Hayes

All men and women are born, live, suffer and die; what distinguishes us one from another is our dreams, whether they be dreams about worldly or unworldly things, and what we do to make them come about... we do not choose to be born. we do not choose our parents. we do not choose our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. we do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death. but within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live.
Inspirational Life Dream
We cannot choose how many years we will live, but we can choose how much life those years will have. we cannot control the beauty of our face, but we can control the expression on it. we cannot control life's difficult moments but we can choose to make life less difficult. we cannot control the negative atmosphere of the world, but we can control the atmosphere of our minds. too often we try to choose and control things we cannot. too seldom we choose to control what we can ... our attitude.
Attitude Optimistic Expression
The actor has to have some degree of craft, along with the talent. no one tries to laugh except bad actors. no one tries to cry except bad actors. how a character hides his feelings tells us who he is. most people don't know that, and most actors don't do that. therefore, there are a lot of actors who put me to sleep, that are considered good actors, but they're predictable and boring. i know how the scene is going to end before it ends.
Character Sleep Laughing
I hear about actors being exterior actors and actors being instinctual actors and i always think it's crap. anybody who knows anything about it knows that good actors do both - they do inside-outward and they do outside-inward. you can't not do both.
Thinking Inward Actors
This i choose to do. if there is a price, this i choose to pay. if it is my death, then i choose to die. where this takes me, there i choose to go. i choose. this i choose to do.
Pay Discworld Take Me
We do not choose to be born. we do not choose our parents, or the country of our birth. we do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death. but within this realm of choicelessnness, we do choose how we live.
