More From Aldous Huxley

Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

One of the great misconceptions about spiritual growth that develops in a lot of churches is that information alone is adequate to produce transformed human beings. so if we want to have a church of spiritually mature people, let's just keep cramming more and more information into them... information alone is not adequate for the transformation of the human personality.

We hypostatize information into objects. rearrangement of objects is change in the content of the information; the message has changed. this is a language which we have lost the ability to read. we ourselves are a part of this language; changes in us are changes in the content of the information. we ourselves are information-rich; information enters us, is processed and is then projected outward once more, now in an altered form. we are not aware that we are doing this, that in fact this is all we are doing.

Clothing sizes are weird, they go: small, medium, large and then extra large, extra extra large, extra extra extra large. something happened at large, they just gave up. they were like, 'i'm not doing any more adjectives; you just keep putting extras on there.' we could do better than that: small, medium, large, whoa, easy, slow down, stop it, interesting, american.

I'm really excited to act again because when i started out, there was an innocent sort of perception of the world that was coming though me, and i think now through a lot of experience and life and understanding, i've come full circle to having a purer response to things. so my craft will be really interesting to work from this place because i think acting is about being in tune with yourself - or maybe the struggle to be in tune with yourself.
