More From Jill Hennessy

You can say something that can really help and actor and you can say something that can really get in the way of an actor's performance, kind of cut them off from their instincts and really get into their heads. and every actor's different. every actor requires something different. being an actor, for me, was the greatest training to be a writer and director.
Cutting Training Actors
I've been working in theater, really, since about 1965. i started working with the mabou mines about then, and in a way i've always worked in the theater, but it's never been a main part of my work. and it wasn't until einstein that i kind of shifted into high gear with theater, working with bob, with bob wilson. and since then i find it a very attractive form to work in. it's just an extension of my work.

'anna,' he would say, 'i am going to marry that one with the pink hat.' and she would say, 'to whom are you going to marry her?' and he would say, 'to me.' i would laugh very much in the back seat, and she would say to him, 'but you are no priest.' and he would say, 'i am today.' and she would say, 'today you believe in god?' and he would say, 'today i believe in love.

I don't believe that artists really are interested in money. that's not the motivation for art.
Art Motivation Believe
I'm way past the idea of using ideology or political view as a gauge of human character. i simply don't believe it. and many people, i tend to think most people, feel that way. since i don't have to worry about it, i'm happy.

I think there's a very fine line between the type of performing that some actors do, and being in a state in your mind where you actually believe what's going on. if we weren't actors, what would we do with that ability? would we not be slightly insane? mentally ill? i don't know.
Believe Thinking Mind
In difficult times, we're not supposed to quit believing; we're not supposed to quit growing.
