More From Kazuo Ishiguro

The successful human being is adaptable. we have to adapt to changes in weather. we have to adapt to changes in climate. we have to adapt to changing economic circumstances. people that don't have the flexibility to adapt or who are afraid of change or who oppose it are going to be left behind.
Successful People Economic
Strip back the beliefs pasted on by governesses, schools, and states, you find indelible truths at one's core. rome'll decline and fall again, cortés'll lay tenochtitlán to waste again, and later, ewing will sail again, adrian'll be blown to pieces again, you and i'll sleep under the corsican stars again, i'll come to bruges again, fall in and out of love with eva again, you'll read this letter again, the sun'll grow cold again. nietzsche's gramophone record. when it ends, the old one plays it again, for an eternity of eternities.

In a sense, the better you adapt to school the less your chances are of later adapting to the actual world. so i figure, the worse you adapt to school, the better you will be able to handle reality when you finally manage to get loose at last from school, if that ever happens. but i guess i have what in the military they call a 'poor attitude,' which means 'shape up or ship out.' i always elected to ship out.

Most organisms either adapt and become part of the system, or get wiped out. the only thing we have to adapt to the system with is our brain. if we don't use it, and we don't adapt fast enough, we won't survive.

I like to adapt to a director's way of working. i love doing that. each director is so different, and you have to adapt to this new way of doing something. that's what's amazing to me. that's why i love directors. i don't want to director to have to work around me. i think it's more fun for me to come in on their thing.
Fun Thinking Want

To be an actor you need various things. you need to have a head for choosing the roles. you have to be, hopefully, easy to work with so people enjoy working with you. you have to deal with missing roles, with not being asked to work, with doing good work and then being castigated by the critics for it. you have to have a skin that can deal with all of that. i, fortunately, seem to have the makeup which allows me to deal with the business. i mean, not as everybody.
