More From Morgan Freeman

When you go through a tunnel - you're going on a train - you go through a tunnel, the tunnel is dark, but you're still going forward. just remember that. but if you're not going to get up on stage for one night because you're discouraged or something, then the train is going to stop. everytime you get up on stage, if it's a long tunnel, it's going to take a lot of times of going on stage before things get bright again. you keep going on stage, you go forward. every night you go on stage.
Dark Night Tunnels
You can say something that can really help and actor and you can say something that can really get in the way of an actor's performance, kind of cut them off from their instincts and really get into their heads. and every actor's different. every actor requires something different. being an actor, for me, was the greatest training to be a writer and director.
Cutting Training Actors
In my career, i've had kind of a strange trajectory as an actor. i started out doing movies and theater and stuff, but then i had a terrible problem with stage fright as an actor on stage, and i quit stage acting for a long, long time.

Morning Dark Reality
My whole life at a certain point was studio, hotel, stage, hotel, stage, studio, stage, hotel, studio, stage. i was expressing everything from my past, everything that i had experienced prior to that studio stage time, and it was like you have to go back to the well, in order to give someone something to drink. i felt like a cistern, dried up and like there was nothing more. and it was so beautiful.
Beautiful Past Order
The only tool we have as artists is selectivity. if you're a painter, you select the color, the lines, how severe they should be. as an actor you develop how angry you should be. you select how angry you should be. you listen to the other actor and then you react. in film, sometimes the other actor isn't even there. you have to play the scene. what i do is i call on my experience on the stage. i play the scene and i hope that i reach a certain level of integrity because that's what i learned on the stage.

To adjoin the instinctual nature does not mean to come undone, change everything from left to right, from black to white, to move the east to west, to act crazy or out of control. it does not mean to lose one's primary socializations, or to become less human. it means quite the opposite. the wild nature has a vast integrity to it

I do support artists standing by their beliefs, and walking with integrity. we have to find a better way to commercially exploit music, while giving artists their proper respect. this cannot be done while taking their contributions for granted, or trying to control the scope of their growth and power through threats and fear tactics.

It's a big challenge for me to keep my integrity and some of my privacy intact.
