I was studying for the SAT's and learning lines.

There's no mystery to it. Nothing more complicated than learning lines and putting on a costume.

If you first fortify yourself with the true knowledge of the Universal Self and then live in the midst of wealth and worldliness surely they will in no way affect you.

Religion is something left over from the infancy of our intelligence it will fade away as we adopt reason and science as our guidelines.

I have learned the art of filling in your lines with your visuals and your movies and your imagination.

Imagination it turns out is a great deal like reporting in your own head. Here is a paradox of fiction-writing. You are crafting something from nothing which means in one sense that none of it is true. Yet in the writing and perhaps in the reading some of a character's actions or lines are truer than others.

I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections and the truth of imagination.

Acting is probably the greatest therapy in the world. You can get a lot stuff out of you on the set so you don't have to take it home with you at night. It's the stuff between the lines the empty space between those lines which is interesting.

The best thing for me is when I'm not working is to be at home and to have a script or two scripts is better and to be just walking around the house and just thinking about the lines.

The only place I've felt was really my home is my cabin up north. There's something in the water there that connects me to that place. There's also this sense of isolation and loneliness about it that I've never been able to shake.
