“Not to sound rude, but [acting] is stupid. Everybody’s like, ‘How can you remain with a level head?’ And I’m like, ‘Why would I ever get cocky? I’m not saving anybody’s life.

“There's an unwritten code about this kind of thing. I could be ostracized. I remember when I was a kid, some guy tried to heighten. He lost his job, lost his friends, Everything. Oh, I knew I was crazy to try this kind of thing, but I was so desperate. What is this kid taking, anyway? Hormones? Ster…”— Larry David, Mickey, Danny Woodburn, imdb.com
“So my acting technique, my personal acting technique is working with color, imagining color, then finding the emotional vibrational mood connected to the color.
