Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.
Acting is mostly about listening. If you just focus in on what the other person is saying, acting takes care of itself to quite a large extent.
Acting touches nerves you have absolutely no control over.
What's interesting about the process of acting is how often you don't know what you're doing.
I'm very aware that when one is acting in the theater, you do become kind of animal about it. And you're reliant on instincts rather than tact a lot of the time.
