acceptance along attempting cost earn education love ourselves people respect status validation
In society, we have to earn other things of import like trust, respect, money, education, careers, status and etc., so naturally, we find ourselves attempting to earn love, acceptance and validation along with that. Here's the trip: we do it at the cost of other people and, more importantly, ourselves.
body commitment exactly grace great hate hurts lift pain prep says seeing twelve weights york
In prep for the role, the young actor has to 'lift weights and I hate it,' he says. 'I'm in New York seeing friends and I have to go off and lift weights for two hours. I'm not exactly in great shape. Your body hurts every day, but that pain is good, I suppose.' Grace says his commitments to 'Spider-Man 3' will take up about twelve months.
jobs phones waiting
I do less waiting by the phone than anyone I know in the business. I don't wait for a job. I just go on to my own work.
people faces actresses
Some people are suspicious of others who have more than one talent. I've had poets tell me to my face that an actress can't be a poet.
giving people understanding
The fact is, as actors, everything we do, bad or good, is a contribution. To me, it is a positive thing to give people as wide a range of human behavior with some sense of understanding of that behavior or some clue to it.
jobs writing thinking
It might be a good idea to have government totally by the people - that each person takes four or five hours of the week doing some kind of government job - in other words, along with what you do you also help maintain the government so no one person has total control - I might go down to an office for four hours and do whatever I'm capable of doing - writing out receipts for food distribution in a certain area - but it's all actually a monstrous secretarial job and that's all I think it should be.
jobs government people
Ideal government would be a very boring job - it would be a matter of organizing a lot of utilities and keeping the wires together and the power plant and all that kind of stuff. It's not a matter of telling people how to live, it's a matter of making it pleasant for them to live. Government should be in the position of distributing food, stuff like that.
tired kids people
Some of the most interesting and happiest kids I've seen have lived with a lot of different adults, because a kid can go up to one guy and wear him out. And as soon as the adult gets tired, there are five other guys, or five other chicks to go and wear out, and the kid gets to be very bright - and tolerant, you know, with that many kinds of people around.
fun writing interesting
You start out performing because it's fun, then you learn more things and you want to do more than go "Na-na-na-na" on a stage. The production end is interesting, writing is interesting, and you learn to coordinate all these things.
ideas people come-up
I don't like to be told what to do at all. That's unfortunate because a lot of people come up with good ideas and can direct you.
hippie thinking annoyed
It's a bit difficult to get hippies organized into anything, but I think if they get annoyed enough with the stuff that's going down, they're capable of showing up. So anything they consider important, they'll be there.
feel-good why-not feels
God is all over the place. And even if He isn't, if it makes me feel good, why not?
can-do
Mainly I make music, and you can do that until you drop dead.
intermission
Death is like taking an intermission when you can't come back. I like living and being around.
