acceptable artist artistic creative heritage insanity living process reconcile sane socially tradition trying
I think it's part of that heritage or that tradition of the creative artist trying to reconcile the insanity and ruthlessness of the artistic process with living a sane and socially acceptable existence.
blessed community cure good health help juvenile research support
Those of us who are blessed with good health must do all we can to help support the research community in their search for a cure for juvenile diabetes,
piano rooms drag
I totally related to Cole Porter's magnetic pull to any piano that was in the room, which he was famous for doing, as was Gershwin. You couldn't drag them away from a piano.
mean sweating
Just because you're not sweating doesn't mean you're not putting in the work.
educational class indictment
I never went to class. That the university graduated me at all is an indictment of our educational system.
kids people surprise
It never ceases to surprise me, the people I get to work with. I'm in a French film with Sandrine Bonnaire? I adore Sandrine Bonnaire. I'm doing a picture for Robert Redford? The Sundance Kid? I have to pinch myself sometimes.
kids gay men
Nobody sees the same movie. I'm sure there are people who saw Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and thought "Finally a gay movie about men who really care about each other. Thank God!" That's not what I saw necessarily but I don't think any two people see the same movie.

The technique's many benefits for actors include minimized tension, centeredness, vocal relaxation, and responsiveness, mind/body connection and about an inch and a half of additional height.

creative actors feels
Nothing makes an actor feel freer and more inventive and more creative than being trusted.
character play singing
I can play characters who sing, but I don't like singing in a nightclub or something. It's not my metier.
