Constructing a Nervous System Quotes

“An acting teacher friend of mine readies her students for auditions by telling them to imagine placing all the techniques and tools they’ve acquired into a barrel, and put it on like rodeo clowns do. Not to be glanced at or checked on anxiously, but to be with you and at the ready when the audition demands.”
― Margo Jefferson, Constructing a Nervous System: A Memoir
