• It's not that I literally think I'm a fearie. It's just that I feel so different from most people. And this idea of a race living underground in caverns, spending all their days dancing and playing the fiddle and eating flowers and reciting poetry and sharing their dreams, that to me sounds much more real than the way people live in this world, hating and fighting and wanting and hurting.

• You've got a lifetime to mull over the Buddhist understanding of interconnectedness." He spoke every sentence as if he'd written it down, memorized it, and was now reciting it. "But while you were looking out the window, you missed the chance to explore the equally interesting Buddhist belief in being present for every facet of your daily life, of being truly present. Be present in this class. And then, when it's over, be present out there," he said, nodding toward the lake and beyond.' ~Dr. Hyde, pg 50

• Porque, niños de diez años del mundo, no deberíais creeros lo que os dicen vuestros profesores sobre vuestra belleza, singularidad y unicidad. O créetelo, copito de nieve, pero que sepas que no servirá de nada hasta después de la pubertad. Es la ley perdida de Newton: cualquier cosa que te haga único más tarde hará que te roben la leche con chocolate y te ennegrezcan el ojo de niño. ¿Verdad, Sebastian? Oh, sí, así será, mi pequeño amigo que aprende chino mandarín, recita poemas y usa zapatillas altas. Dios te bendiga, dondequiera que estés.

• Stop," I said. "Please do not further endorken yourself to me. You have great hair and a car that is most fly, and you have just saved me with your mad ninja driving skills, so do not sully your heroic hottie image in my mind by further reciting your nerdy scholastic agenda. Don't tell me what you're studying, Steve, tell me what's in your soul. What haunts you?" And he was like, "Dude, you need to cut back on the caffeine.

• Then the challenge is, once you left brain it and build it, then when you're on stage you have to know it so well that you can get lost in it. I don't want to be onstage looking like a robot, I want to be at the end of the day very emotional and what feels like someone being up there rather than reciting things. That's always the challenge, to analyze and then somehow lose yourself in something you absolutely know backwards and forwards. And nothing's going to surprise you, but you have to be surprised by it and let it surprise you.

• We live in a world of self-deprecation, and while it’s healthy to make fun of ourselves from time to time, it bothers me when I see women of all ages belittling their accomplishments because they don’t want to appear boastful or overconfident. You don’t see a lot of guys out there underplaying their strengths or making light of what they’re good at, so why should women? While I get that there’s a fine line between owning your accomplishments and reciting every line of your résumé, there is absolutely no shame in being proud of what you’ve managed to achieve! Own it!

• Siempre era el héroe sin vicios, que recitaba prácticamente las mismas líneas a la protagonista. Los actores de cine actuales son menos discapacitados que los antiguos. Son más humanos. Los protagonistas del cine mudo eran Adonises y Apolos. Hoy en día, el héroe puede incluso atacar a la protagonista. En mi época, un héroe que hubiera pegado una sola vez a la chica habría sido eliminado.

• Después de que todo haya terminado, la primera infancia, una cadena de cumpleaños entretejidos con la luz de las velas, montones de regalos, voces de parientes cantando y alabando tu promesa y tu futuro, después de los años de escolarización, encajándote en pupitres de diferentes tamaños, memorizando, recitando, informando y actuando para un jurado tras otro de profesores, consejeros y administradores, sigues sintiéndote inadecuado, solo, vulnerable y desnudo en un mundo que puede ser implacable y terriblemente exigente.

• We got quiet. The garden was combing her hair and putting on earrings. The house was full of dancing creatures, not male and female but both, two lovers in one body. The books downstairs were reciting their poetry to each other, rubbing together, whispering through the leather covers. Wine was flowing through the water pipes. You had caught my leaping heart in your hand like a fish.

• Bad acting comes in many bags, various odors. It can be performed by cardboard refugees from an Ed Wood movie, reciting their dialogue off an eye chart, or by hopped-up pros looking to punch a hole through the fourth wall from pure ballistic force of personality, like Joe Pesci in a bad mood. I can respect bad acting that owns its own style.
