“Actors create a sense of life not by manipulating experiences, but by experiencing the action as it occurs. They are in the "here and now," a state where concentration on the details of the moment preclude the distractions of the past or future. In this sense they have a great deal in common with those other "players," athletes.”
― Kurt Daw, Acting: Thought Into Action

“If my mom is the lightning bolt, I’m the tallest tree on the plain.”

“Smell was our first sense, and it was so successful that in time the small lump of olfactory tissue atop the nerve cord grew into a brain. Our cerebral hemispheres were originally buds from our olfactory stalks. We think because we smelled.”
― Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of the Senses

“Acting is creating a sense of life. It is giving an audience an experience so vivid and truthful that they are able to draw their own conclusions about what it all means.”
― Kurt Daw, Acting: Thought Into Action
