It's not personal - train your brain
The older I get the less I believe, and the smaller my beliefs, the freer my performance. I remember to the smallest details the morning my father died, the day my children were born, my first kiss, excruciating bodily pain and you get the idea. To save my life I could not recreate those moments truthfully by simply remembering them for a performance. Stanislavsky admitted that his method was not static and it is in our generation's task to lift his and all master teachings which revolutionized performance arts in the 20th century. They are triggers and not representations for the actor. Spare me the crocodile tears and the flared angry nostrils. Work hard at understanding the truths of any situation - train your brain to create on demand - i'm waiting for the feeling is for the birds. Heresy, God yes! Be a master at your craft, behave like you already are, you will be amazed at the responses from your bountiful - mind
