But writers invite ghosts, maybe; along with actors and artists, they are the only totally accepted mediums of our society. they make worlds that never were, populate them with people who never existed, and then invite us to join them in their fantasies. and we do it, don't we? yes. we pay to do it.

Join the bold, the brazen, the unintimidated. join not having excuses. join the idea that fun is the source of all joy. join the unwillingness to give up. join doing things your way. join not joining. join that purpose is stronger than outcome. join your gut. join the constant challenge of seeking greatness. join play. join the hunger to find what makes you happy. join karma and nature and the effect you have on your world. join your philosophy. join something bigger than you. join what you believe.

(what are your ghosts like?) (they are on the insides of the lids of my eyes.) (this is also where my ghosts reside.) (you have ghosts?) (of course i have ghosts.) (but you are a child.) (i am not a child.) (but you have not known love.) (these are my ghosts, the spaces amid love.)

There are only two worlds - your world, which is the real world, and other worlds, the fantasy. worlds like this are worlds of the human imagination: their reality, or lack of reality, is not important. what is important is that they are there. these worlds provide an alternative. provide an escape. provide a threat. provide a dream, and power; provide refuge, and pain. they give your world meaning. they do not exist; and thus they are all that matters.

Find a way to say yes to things. say yes to invitations to a new country, say yes to meet new friends, say yes to learning a new language, picking up a new sport. yes is how you get your first job, and your next job, and your spouse, and even your kids. even if it's a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying yes means that you will do something new, meet someone new, and make a difference in your life. yes lets you stand out in a crowd, be the optimist, to stay positive, be the one everyone comes to. yes is what keeps us all young.

Knock! knock! who's there? me! me who? that's right? what's right? meehoo! that's what i want to know! what's what you want to know? me who? yes, exactly! exactly what? yes, i have exactlywatt on a chain! exactly what on a chain? yes! yes what? no, exactlywatt! that's what i want to know! i told you-exactlywatt! exactly what? yes! yes what? yes it's with me. what's with you? exactlywatt-that's what with me. me who? yes! go away! knock knock...

When you call someone and ask them to do something they've never done before, in different mediums i think they would be inclined to pass because they're afraid of the risk. but the creative people who populate the theater world love the challenge of new things.

Similar Quotes

There are two kinds of actors -- one sits in a dressing room waiting for his call and the other gets out into the business and polishes his craft by absorbing everything. i don't know enough, i'll never learn everything i need to learn. when a guy thinks he's already learned it, he can only go backwards.

When i read commentary about suggestions for where c should go, i often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.

Always get to the set or the location early, so that you can be all alone and draw your inspiration for the blocking and the setups in private and quiet. in one sense, it's about protecting yourself; in another sense, it's about always being open to surprise, even from the set, because there may be some detail that you hadn't noticed. i think this is crucial. there are many pictures that seem good in so many ways except one: they lack a sense of surprise, they've never left the page.

When i was taking arithmetic in the first grade i said to myself, "i'm going to be a singer. i don't have to worry about numbers." i didn't think i was going to be famous or a star.
