More From Edna Ferber

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.

Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead. this scarcity makes leadership valuable...it's uncomfortable to stand up in front of strangers. it's uncomfortable to propose an idea that might fail. it's uncomfortable to challenge the status quo. it's uncomfortable to resist the urge to settle...if you're not uncomfortable in your work as a leader, it's almost certain you're not reaching your potential as a leader.

All i want are high heels, high heels. if i was a girl, i'd wear a lot of high heels. high, stiletto heels.

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.

We live in this culture of endless extraction and disposal: extraction from the earth, extraction from people's bodies, from communities, as if there's no limit, as if there's no consequence to how we're taking and disposing, and as if it can go on endlessly. we are reaching the breaking point on multiple levels. communities are breaking, the planet is breaking, people's bodies are breaking. we are taking too much.

People ask me all the time, 'how can i walk in these heels?' i answer with the best compliment i remember that came from a woman who lives here in paris...i know my street much better. heels permit me to take the time to look at the architecture of my street. now i take time to look at things.' high heels give you time to think, to look at your surroundings- a camel has seen more in life than a very quick horse! women should live to rhythm of high-heeled shoes!

We are not especially 'interested in' animals. neither of us had ever been inordinately fond of dogs, cats, or horses in the way that many people are. we didn't 'love' animals.
