More From Anne Rice

The only way to be a champion is by going through these forced reps and the torture and pain. that's way i call it the torture routine. because it's like forced torture. torturing my body. what helps me is to think of this pain as pleasure. pain makes me grow. growing is what i want. therefore, for me pain is pleasure. and so when i am experiencing pain i'm in heaven. it's great. people suggest this is masochistic. but they're wrong. i like pain for a particular reason. i don't like needle's stuck in my arm. but i do like the pain that is necessary to be a champion.

Grief does not end and love does not die and nothing fills its graven place. with grace, pain is transmuted into the gold of wisdom and compassion and the lesser coin of muted sadness and resignation; but something leaden of it remains, to become the kernel arond which more pain accretes (a black pearl): one pain becomes every other pain ... unless one strips away, one by one, the layers of pain to get to the heart of the pain - and this causes more pain, pain so intense as to feel like evisceration.

Facing the darkness, admitting the pain, allowing the pain to be pain, is never easy. this is why courage - big-heartedness - is the most essential virtue on the spiritual journey. but if we fail to let pain be pain - and our entire patriarchal culture refuses to let this happen - then pain will haunt us in nightmarish ways. we will become pain's victims instead of the healers we might become.
Spiritual Pain Journey
It is pleasure that lurks in the practice of every one of your virtues. man performs actions because they are good for him, and when they are good for other people as well they are thought virtuous: if he finds pleasure in helping others he is benevolent; if he finds pleasure in working for society he is public-spirited; but it is for your private pleasure that you give twopence to a beggar as much as it is for my private pleasure that i drink another whiskey and soda. i, less of a humbug than you, neither applaud myself for my pleasure nor demand your admiration.

When you're comfortable and secure, it's not enough. the mind doesn't stop there because it has to continue to focus itself as this body, so it moves to pleasure. and pleasure really is a non-existent thing. when we're experiencing pleasure, we're trying to hold onto it as it leaves, so it really isn't pleasure. pleasure is pain because we're grasping.
Pain Moving Focus
Joy is not the same as pleasure or happiness. a wicked and evil man may have pleasure, while any ordinary mortal is capable of being happy. pleasure generally comes from things, and always through the senses; happiness comes from humans through fellowship. joy comes from loving god and neighbor. pleasure is quick and violent, like a flash of lightning. joy is steady and abiding, like a fixed star. pleasure depends on external circumstances, such as money, food, travel, etc. joy is independent of them, for it comes from a good conscience and love of god.

I remember being fascinated by the graduated sizes and perspective on the sets [of star wars]. and how they put shorter people and kids in the uniforms and placed them in the distance to give the idea that these sets had more depth than they really did.

We do not understand the intricate pattern of the stars in their courses, but we know that he who created them does, and that just as surely as he guides them, he is charting a safe course for us.

I certainly know guys in comedy, i know some actors, and i definitely know some musicians, who have survived to a certain age and make a good living doing what they do, but nobody knows who they are. they wake up every day and they have the ability to get paid practicing their art, but underneath it all, if you scratched the surface, you still get, "if i only had my own show . . .," or "if i only had my own band . . ." it's what people always do when they want to be their own star.
