More From John Irving

I definitely consider myself a method actor, because of my training. i might dispute what people consider a method actor to be. for my money, a method actor is an actor who has a technique. that has a method. and not one method, but whatever might be required. so a method actor is always learning.

Proselytizing is more a passionate search for something not yet found than a desire to bestow upon the world something we already have. it is a search for a final and irrefutable demonstration that our absolute truth is indeed the one and only truth. the proselytizing fanatic strengthens his own faith by converting others.
Society Desire World
Evangelization does not consist in proselytizing, for proselytizing is a caricature of evangelization, but rather evangelizing entails attracting by our witness those who are far off, it means humbly drawing near to those who feel distant from god in the church, drawing near to those who feel judged and condemned outright by those who consider themselves to be perfect and pure.

The proselytizing fanatic strengthens his own faith by converting others. the creed whose legitimacy is most easily challenged is likely to develop the strongest proselytizing impulse.
Legitimacy Creeds Impulse
No one is really a method actor, everyone has their way of going about it, preparing for it, but method is preparation, it's what you do to prepare. so my method is to read the script. some actors' method is to read the script a hundred times and in the doing of it, to immerse themselves in as much of the reality as possible. me, i believe strictly in acting. if i am out of breath, i'm out of breath. i ain't running nowhere.
Running Believe Reality
As every writer knows... there is something mysterious about the writer's ability, on any given day, to write. when the juices are flowing, or the writer is 'hot', an invisible wall seems to fall away, and the writer moves easily and surely from one kind of reality to another... every writer has experienced at least moments of this strange, magical state. reading student fiction one can spot at once where the power turns on and where it turns off, where the writer writes from 'inspiration' or deep, flowing vision, and where he had to struggle along on mere intellect.
