Because I feel guilty about how much I'm clogging my followers' dashboards, but I just want to reblog all the Adam. Ship and let ship, but if you bash Joanne, I'm gonna have to block you.

In my family there was no emphasis on the importance of language. It was the theater that got me started reading, it was there that I began my transformation: I noticed that I was less aggressive now that I could finally put a name to the things that frustrated me. I started becoming more reasonable, noticing how this was reflected in the people around me. (x

“Acting, to me, has been many things: It’s a business, and it’s a craft, and it’s a political act - it’s whatever adjective is most applicable.“ —Adam Driver

It’s difficult for me to stay in touch with my old Marine friends spread out all over the world. It was even more difficult explaining to them what I was up to at Juilliard, like the acting exercises in pajamas, pretending to hold a cup of coffee to find my “inner color”. But I’m convinced that theater can help those who are fighting far from home. It’s important to face certain feelings, and somehow find the words to express what’s inside. Maybe I’m wrong, but it seems to me that we need to think about what’s happening, describe it, talk about it.
