There were time when I was into method acting that I did have moments of residual character emotions, because the method bases your emotional responses as a character on emotional experiences from your real life.

It's all about creating a back story for the character and developing emotional responses that are true to life in relation to the character. It isn't necessary to live a tragic life to create from that place.

I was raised in New York City and raised in the New York City theater world. My father was a theater director and an acting teacher, and it was not uncommon for me to have long discussions about the method and what the various different processes were to finding a character and exploring character and realizing that character.

Character
The character
Of a man is
Known by
What he does
To you…
When you are
Weak and downtrodden
Does he uplift you?
Does he exploit you?
Upliftment may be
Mental, emotional
Physical or financial
Exploitation may
Also be the same
If you are able to answer
How he treats you…
You'll be able to decipher
What his character shows
You

Acting has always been a way for me to express the emotions I had buried. If I hadn't acted, I would have gone insane. In my acting class, I could let out my real tears and everyone thought it was the character. But no, it was me.

Relativism is neither a method of fighting, nor a method of creating, for both of these are uncompromising and at times even ruthless; rather, it is a method of cognition.

Heard youre up to no good
Doin everything I never would
Shakes me up
Brings me down
Puts my world six feet underground
Well I need to know whats going on
Before I lose my mind
If I catch you with her I dont know what Ill do
When I get home what will I find
Whoa emotional highway
Driving all night and day through the pouring rain
Ive heard a rumor now

If my babys giving his heart to someone else
Well my minds playing tricks
To think of you and her just makes me sick
Every mile that I go
I keep praying I dont lose control
Well the road is long and conditions are bad
And all I think about is you

I do not use any set methods, not even The Method. The character after all is in the lines.

What's most interesting and most real to me in my work is to never make the role a complete character, because then you lose a part of the truth. I can't say that this person is just like this or like that. Because you can never do that with real people in real life, so if you try that on stage you lose the truth. Since I myself strive to be able to be a great many things, I also want my character to have that very same liberty. Eventually in that way it will add to a sort of completeness. But it is the story that is told that is the interesting thing and the situations the character is in. And as we humans always are shaped by a special situation or given circumstances, I can never ever say: Thus is my character.

Real Emotional Girl
Shes a real emotional girl
She wears her heart on her sleeve
Every little thing you tell her
Shell believe
She really will
She even cries in her sleep
Ive heard her
Many times before
I never had a girl who loved me
Half as much as this girl loves me
Shes real emotional
For eighteen years she lived at home
She was daddys little girl
And daddy helped her move out on her own
She met a boy
He broke her heart
And now she lives alone
And shes very, very careful
Yes she is
Shes a real emotional girl
Lives down deep inside her heart
She turns on easy
Its like a hurricane
You would not believe it
You gotta hold on tight to her
Shes a real emotional girl

While it is challenging working with a kid, because they're so of the moment all the time. My acting style is to try to take something from my life that the character can relate to and that I can relate the character to.

Emotional
She was looking right through me like I was made out of glass
a la la la la la
Heaven, lie and tell, comes back like up at a check
Why do you get so emotional?
Why do you get so emotional?
Why do you get
Smokin' and drinkin', tryin' to kick stuff Monday night
Smokin' and drinkin', tryin' to kick start Monday night
I try and I try
A sneaky feeling is coming over me
Why do you get so emotional?
Why do you get so emotional?
Why do you get so emotional?
Why do you get so emotional?

It's really interesting that whenever you do something that is so out of character, like having an emotional outburst, that you don't get in trouble.

No one of good character leaves behind a wasted life — whether they die in obscurity or renown. "Character," wrote the 19th Century evangelist, Dwight Moody, "is what you are in the dark." Your character is not tested on occasions of public scrutiny or acclaim. It is not tested in moments when the object of your actions is the regard of another. Your character is what you are to yourself, not what you pretend to be to yourself or others. Although human beings often attempt self-delusion, we cannot forever hide the truth about ourselves from ourselves. It will make itself known to us by means of our conscience despite our most strenuous effort to suppress it.

Contented Life...
Life is
an interesting thing
containing moments of despair
and others that make you sing
The trick is making joy
out of whatever you face
Looking at situations
with intentional grace
Life is to be lived
to the full extent
Grasping your current condition
with a feeling of content
To know that you're at
your position for a reason
and maybe these feelings that arise
are only for a season
Maybe during these times of despair
where you feel that life isn't fair
is a time of character building
of which you're well unaware
Maybe when these distraught feelings
seem to worsen
you are actually growing
into a more stable person
It is said that character builds most
in difficult situations
stregthening you even more
on your emotional foundation
So live it out
sending forth a shout
that you will no longer dwell
in this prolonged drought
Look at this life
like an open book
and speed ahead
to catch it's hook
Make others around
see joy that's profound
letting your contented life
become renowned
Don't hold out
for a day that's hidden
Keep pushing forward
to a promise already bidden
Because all you need
is what you believe
and that which you sow
you will also receive
So jump the gun
and start the race
run to the comfort
of the Divine embrace

The consuming desire of most human beings is deliberately to plant their whole life in the hands of some other person. I would describe this method of searching for happiness as immature. Development of character consists solely in moving toward self-sufficiency.
