James Ivory comes close to the actors for the first rehearsal. He more or less lets you direct yourself and then will only correct you if he finds it incorrect.

To govern is to correct. If you set an example by being correct, who would dare remain incorrect?
Gift Of The Day
You may see one of your grand children
Like James Perry may perish but your grand
Mother James Wall may be well and alive
The breath you take is not your right but
a gift of the day, recess is your right after
hard work, so close your eyes, sit and pray,
and lets your thoughts play, open your heart
and lets the rays of love and hope enter
lots of hate has been spread by the rouges
no more any apathy now we need some good
of them just to feel better, come close, more
close to nature, every moment is a momentous
delight, life is life- a source of joy
weather is weather it is never heavy or light.

Ivory
You were born with a face that would let you get your way
Yeah you had everything you wanted child, that is until the day
you know you're much too fine and free, Ivory
You've been dressed in a vest, every minute of your day
You walk into a room, stand in a lit shade
Is your timer too high for me, Ivory
Ivory
How does it feel to be so high
Ivory
How long how long will it take for you to cry
Ivory
I'm in need
Ivory
Ivory
I'll touch your soul, might even touch your brain
I know you can't see me
I know your blind
Come back come back and see
Ivory
So good to me
Ivory

It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.

The preparation for a film is so ephemeral and hard -- you're lucky if you get a day of rehearsal or a chat with the director or actors on set.

If, for example, all the codons are triplets, then in addition to the correct reading of the message, there are two incorrect readings which we shall obtain if we do not start the grouping into sets of three at the right place.

Upsetting That Which Leeches
A process to correct,
Has become a direct effectiveness.
All of nature has set its sites,
On that which has defected its naturalness.
And nature has begun to correct this.
Upsetting that which leeches,
With a disbelief by the method of revenge!

We Are Not Actors!
when millions of our ancestors died for the truth,
when millions of them never acted in their life,
when millions of us work hard with our only face,
who told that world is full actors and actresses?
memorized scripts are repeated,
repeated verses can be recorded and edited,
The director vision is visualized,
Rehearsal can make the scenes perfect.
we live a scene only once in real life,
no directors, editors and the script writer,
we live our life with emotions and blunders,
we feel every moment that is not felt by the actors,
who told that world is the stage and we are the actors?

It has been rumoured that I was the brains of the robbery, but that was totally incorrect. I've been described as the tea boy, which is also incorrect.

I can't think of a major story that we have broken that was incorrect. But we have had to correct some things that were false; we have had to retract things.
I have directed good actors and have gone through the process which is more detailed in theater in a way. You have to get people to stay for two or three hours in a performance. They need more talk and rehearsal than in films.

Lets Go
Upon the buzzer
Ouick on the start-
Lets golets go-lets go!
For its hi-dee-ho-
You know where you want to go-
Dont be a smoe
Get in the show-
Bounce off the backboards
And block that pass
Lets go!-lets go!-lets go!
Grab her by the neck

Beat it down the path
And catch that early worm
Lets go! lets go! lets goi

Apollo
Lets move, lets shake
Lets bleed, lets fake
Lets go for broke
Lets make mistakes
Lets see, lets win
Lets pray, lets cheat
Lets have another dance
Lets watch our feet
Lets die in the arms
Of the girls we love
Lets sell our souls
To the man above
Lets move, lets go
Lets hop, lets start
Lets paint the town
Lets break a few hearts
Well run, well shout
Well thrash, well cry
But well never grow old
And well never die
Lying on a bed
With apollo in my arms
Doing everything we should
And being killed by her charms
Ive got apollo in my heart
Shes tearing me apart
She looks like an angel
Held here in my arms
Though I close my eyes
And I turn away
Im not letting go
No, not at this stage
Because knowing is only half of it
No matter what they say
And seeing her is believing
From miles and miles away
Shes closed her eyes
And shes turned away
Shes letting go
And I know shell say
Lets die in the arms
Of the girls we love
Lets sell our souls
To the man above

There is a strange pecking order among actors. Theater actors look down on film actors, who look down on TV actors. Thank God for reality shows, or we wouldn't have anybody to look down on.

Let Yourself Go
(words & music by joy byers)
Well baby Im gonna teach you what loves all about tonight
Trust me honey everythings gonna be all right
You gotta do like I do there aint nothing to it
Listen to me baby anybody can do it
All you gotta do is just let yourself go
Now dont be afraid just relax and take it real slow
Cool it baby you aint got no place to go
Just put your arms around me real tight
Enjoy yourself baby dont fight
All you gotta do is just let yourself go
All you need is just a little rehearsal
The first thing that you know
Youll be ready for the grand finale
So come on baby lets go
Lets go, lets go lets go
Lets go
Take a real deep breath and put your warm red lips on mine
Just do like I tell you, everythings gonna be just fine
Kiss me nice and easy, take your time
Baby Im the only one here in line
All you gotta do is just let yourself go
Let yourself go right now yeh! let yourself go
Let yourself go right now yeh! let yourself go
Yeh! let yourself go
All you gotta do is just let yourself go

Assumptions Kept
Are you the kind that gets upset...
When your assumptions kept,
Have been proven to be incorrect?
And when this is discovered,
Do you do your best to pretend to forget...
When in the presence of someone,
You hope has forgotten your disrespect?
Are you the kind that gets upset...
When your assumptions kept,
Have been proven to be incorrect?
And those assumptions had been shared,
By others also like you...
Assuming throughout their lives,
That what they hear about others is true.
Are you the kind that gets upset...
When your assumptions kept,
Have been proven to be incorrect?
And the only thing you can do is your best...
To prove to the ones you have done this to,
Is to prove to them you are not the fool...
You have shown yourself to be.

Whole Day Off
Have you seen my girlfriend
She lives in a pig pen
Have you seen my girlfriend
I cant seem to find her
Perhaps she is hiding
Underneath a blade of grass
Chorus
Lets take the whole day off
Lets take the whole day off
Lets take the whole day off . . .
Have you seen my new house
Looks just like a dog house
Have you seen my new house
Someone saw it walking
Straight into the ocean
He thought it was an ivory boat
Chorus
Bridge
Maybe--its just a bad dream and Ill wake up soon
But I dont think Ill be so lucky
Maybe--its just one of those strange days when nothing seems right
No nothing seems right at all
Went up to a pay phone on a bathroom wall
But I cant remember who I want to call
Operator can you help me
Have you seen my garden
It is most peculiar
Have you seen my garden
Nothing there that grows
Looks anything at all like plants
I hear their voices . . .
Lets take the whole day off . . .
Chorus
Have you seen my girlfriend
Have you seen my girlfriend . . .
