"I do remember saying to my mom, in the most dramatic sense possible…‘If I don’t get to act, I will die,’ Which is how I think you do know you’re an actor: when it feels so dramatic, the idea that you wouldn’t get to do it. It really solidifies the pain that you’re in—[which,] as an actor, is worth it."
Emma Stone
Stillness is something that I know a lot of people, period—even outside of the acting realm—just struggle with. But it’s really magic, what happens when you can sit and receive and just allow things to happen. It’s like, out of stillness, really authentic movement can rise.
