Be Brave Enough To Live Creatively .

I'm Most At Home On The Stage. I Was Carried Onstage For The First Time When I Was Six Months Old.

The Difference Between Listening And Pretending To Listen, I Discovered, Is Enormous. One Is Fluid, The Other Is Rigid. One Is Alive, The Other Is Stuffed. Eventually, I Found A Radical Way Of Thinking About Listening. Real Listening Is A Willingness To Let The Other Person Change You. When I’m Willing To Let Them Change Me, Something Happens Between Us That’s More Interesting Than A Pair Of Dueling Monologues.

When I Started Out As An Actor, I Thought, Here's What I Have To Say; How Shall I Say It? I Began To Understand That What I Do In The Scene Is Not As Important As What Happens Between Me And The Other Person. And Listening Is What Lets It Happen. It's Almost Always The Other Person Who Causes You To Say What You Say Next. You Don't Have To Figure Out How You'll Say It. You Have To Listen So Simply, So Innocently, That The Other Person Brings About A Change In You That Makes You Say It And Informs The Way You Say It.
