More From Alexander Calder

I definitely consider myself a method actor, because of my training. i might dispute what people consider a method actor to be. for my money, a method actor is an actor who has a technique. that has a method. and not one method, but whatever might be required. so a method actor is always learning.

Happiness is a state of non-contradictory joy--a joy without penalty or guilt, a joy that does not clash with any of your values and does not work for your own destruction, not the joy of escaping from your mind, but of using your mind's fullest power, not the joy of faking reality, but of achieving values that are real, not the joy of a drunkard, but of a producer.
Happiness Real Escaping
People who have lived through a war know that as it approaches, an at first secret, unacknowledged, elation begins, as if an almost inaudible drum is beating ... an awful, illicit, violent excitement is abroad. then the elation becomes too strong to be ignored or overlooked: then everyone is possessed by it.

No one is really a method actor, everyone has their way of going about it, preparing for it, but method is preparation, it's what you do to prepare. so my method is to read the script. some actors' method is to read the script a hundred times and in the doing of it, to immerse themselves in as much of the reality as possible. me, i believe strictly in acting. if i am out of breath, i'm out of breath. i ain't running nowhere.

Abortion on demand is the ultimate state tyranny; the state simply declares that certain classes of human beings are not persons, and therefore not entitled to the protection of the law. the state protects the 'right' of some people to kill others, just as the courts protected the 'property rights' of slave masters in their slaves. moreover, by this method the state achieves a goal common to all totalitarian regimes: it sets us against each other, so that our energies are spent in the struggle between state-created classes, rather than in freeing all individuals from the state.
Struggle Law Class
When we speak of a calm state of mind or peace of mind, we shouldn't confuse that with an insensitive state of apathy. having a calm or peaceful state of mind doesn't mean being spaced out or completely empty. peace of mind or a calm state of mind is rooted in affection and compassion and is sensitive and responsive to others.

Playing a drunk doesn't mean being a drunk, only bad actors try to be drunk. a real drunk tries to be sober, he wants another drink. how a character hides their feelings tells us who they are, no one shows their feelings except bad actors.
Real Character Mean
Being a writer means i sit in a dark (and pretty dank) room off my garage for many hours a day, and in my wallowing moments i can feel as if i'm already on the outside of society, peering wistfully in.

This is actually a very important principle that science is learning about large systems like evolution and that futurists are learning about anticipating human society: just because a future scenario is plausible doesn't mean we can get there from here.
