We are a kind of Chameleons, taking our hue - the hue of our moral character, from those who are about us.

Music for Chameleons
At 4 o'clock we land
And I'll wave my flag for you
Interest in heart
We are not savage
Like children
Were people
What difference I say
Music for chameleons
Music for chameleons
A dream of siam
We could leave in the morning
Old friends and shy
We need to win
Like you need to breathe
I've an interest in games
Music for chameleons
Music for chameleons
Gowns for another show
Maybe no-one will come
Here take my arm
I like the pictures
And you like ghost stories
Tomorrow I'll sigh
Music for chameleons
Music for chameleons

An Exhortation
Chameleons feed on light and air:
Poets' food is love and fame:
If in this wide world of care
Poets could but find the same
With as little toil as they,
Would they ever change their hue
As the light chameleons do,
Suiting it to every ray
Twenty times a day?
Poets are on this cold earth,
As chameleons might be,
Hidden from their early birth
In a cave beneath the sea;
Where light is, chameleons change:
Where love is not, poets do:
Fame is love disguised: if few
Find either, never think it strange
That poets range.
Yet dare not stain with wealth or power
A poet's free and heavenly mind:
If bright chameleons should devour
Any food but beams and wind,
They would grow as earthly soon
As their brother lizards are.
Children of a sunnier star,
Spirits from beyond the moon,
O, refuse the boon!

Kind Words
Kind words are always free
as are best intentions of honey bee;
therefore why do not more
give freely of nobility to shine adore?
Kindness is best indicator
to rank true good character;
high ideals moral character
sows fair fruit in all weather.
A noble unknown class
may grow as common as wild grass;
how green is my valley
in this beauty without any hypocrisy?

Good government generally begins in the family, and if the moral character of a people once degenerate, their political character must soon follow.

I enjoy catching our show whenever I can. It does get very weird to watch myself, it's always been that way, but at the same time, it's part of my job to see what kind of job I'm doing and to get a perspective on where I'm taking the character.

Our Globally Warming Neighbors
our neighbors are
weathers
more of the global
warming type
in short
unpredictable
so unpredictable
that i can't just figure
out which is the
sunny one from
the wet one
during thunderstorms
they laugh
and when the sea is
calm tonight
they all stay in their
house and
get drunk
we are the chameleons
to suit their changing colors
you expect that they
will like us
so unpredictable are they
they still didn't like it
'we hate chameleons'
' we like melons' they shouted.
until one day
we gave up
we decided not to mind
and use
the ignorance
style
and then they
begin to smile.

Chameleons
We are all chameleons
We change our faces
As needed.
We change our thoughts
As needed.
We change our actions
As needed.
We change our values
As needed.
We change our principles
As needed.
We change our morals
As needed.
We change our love
As needed.
And our vows to God
As needed.

Poor Chameleons!

Lovely flower changing colors like chameleons changed to wood.
Falling, coiling chain wrapped round and round strong links between us.
Matching layers along my dress becoming an accessory.
You wont see the dress or the chameleon.
Lovely flower changing colors like chameleons changed into wine.

When you have to play a character that seems to be a relatively decent person and seems to be like yourself, I think the trick in that kind of character, so that you don't become a cliche, is to find where their weaknesses are.

I like for there to be a moral, for the character to have gotten something out of the experience.

I don't think my spirituality has affected my character. I feel like my character is much more cynical about his beliefs, and I think I have to kind of drop what I believe in order to play him.

I'm not the kind of actress that goes home with the character. I mean, you're thinking about the work or the next day's scenes, but not staying in character. But as a film goes on, you become more and more fragile, emotionally. And physically too, actually.

I need to react to a script, to feel strongly about it in some way. And I need it to be a complex character for sure. And also, I think a lot about what kind of audience there is for the film, what they're looking for and ways to connect with them in the playing of a character.

In Answer To Pirandello's Question
if the character steps inside my room
i will perhaps choose the

honestly, i still don't have it
i mean,

Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or avoids
The Sea Is Lost In Your Eyes
The sea is lost in your eyes
and sometimes there is a kind of green
that shines right through the dark brown depths
in a secret kind of beauty,
something much deeper
than only the perception of pain
with some character shining in them
and sometimes I do continually wonder
what kind of thoughts do you think?
