When actors give their input, it can be very ego-driven, and directors are scared of that.

Somehow I got to be one of five or six actors that the directors would use as guinea pigs at this directing colloquium, where people pay to listen to and watch the directors direct.

Im Not Scared
(tennant/lowe)
-----------------
Your lifes a mystery, mine is an open book
If I could read your mind, I think Id take a look
I dont care
Baby, Im not scared
What have you got to fight? what do you need to prove?
Youre always telling lies, and thats the only truth
I dont care
Baby, Im not scared
Tonight the streets are full of actors
I dont know why
Oh, take these dogs away from me
Before they, they bite
What have you got to say of shadows in your past?
I thought that, if you paid, youd keep them off our backs
But I dont care
Baby, Im not scared
What have you got to hide? who will it compromise?
Where do we have to be, so I can laugh and youll be free?
Id go anywhere
Baby, I dont care
Im not scared
I dont care
Baby, Im not scared
Tonight the streets are full of actors
I dont know why
Oh, take these dogs away from me
Before they, they bite
Tonight I fought and made my mind up
I know its right
I know these dogs still snap around us
But I can, I can fight
If I was you, if I was you
I wouldnt treat me the way you do
If I was you, if I was you
I wouldnt treat me the way you do - you
If I was you, if I was you
I wouldnt treat me the way you do
If I was you, if I was you
I wouldnt treat me the way you do - you
Im not scared
Baby, I dont care
Id go anywhere
Baby, Im not scared
Im not scared
No, Im not scared

Directors say that you should get actors before they are recognized. They will be a pain or have an opinion.

A lot of the films now are more focused on the visuals than on the actors. I think all directors should go to drama school.
Many plays - certainly mine - are like blank checks. The actors and directors put their own signatures on them.

Ten ways to restful mind
Give one-sixth extra time for travel.
Provide one tenth income for old age.
Buy, only when driven by demand.
Lend not, instead, gift one tenth of it.
Hold words, unless asked for.
Help or not, but never hurt.
Expect one-third less output.
Anticipate one-third more input.
Leave wealth only by a Will.
Never exploit others’ weakness.
Then you will have fewer worries.

Scared
I'm scared of life and what i'll become
I'm scared of not being able to go on
I'm scared of what will happen
I'm scared of your reaction
I'm scared of letting go
I'm scared of what i don't know
I'm scared of losing you
I'm scared of being used
I'm scared of being hurt beyond repair
I'm scared of whats out there
I'm scared and so alone
I'm scared and searching for a place to call home
Will you hold me and fight away my fears
Will you tell me it's gonna be okay and wipe away my tears
Will you hold my hand as i walk through the dark
Will you stay and not leave or break my heart
Will you be there to pick me up when i fall down
Because i really need someone right now

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?

We make a contract within ourselves as actors or directors or writers about how much of ourselves we let into projects. You can actually figure out before you work on something how much blood you will have to let emotionally.
