"Free Write."

          To be honest, I haven't had much time lately to truly make a lot of progress in this book. I have so much going on, with school, rehearsal, and other commitments, so Sandy has been put on the back burner for a while. However, whenever I do get a few moments to sit down and read a little, I am reminded of what a genius Meisner really is. His comments are not only hilarious and witty, but one hundred percent spot on in relation to what he has just seen and what he is trying to teach to his students. As I read, I imagine what the men and women in this class must have been thinking, and I wonder if they realized how truly lucky they were to have such an incredible mentor. It would be really interesting to see where these people are now - if they are still acting, if they still use the techniques that Meisner taught them, and if they look back fondly on their time in his class. Perhaps if I read on I will find out the answers to these pressing questions.

"It's the theater that interests me, not acting. I don't like actors very much, though I do like to act. It's enjoyable - sometimes. But I don't like what it brings to the surface in my personality: the self-centeredness, the childish vanity, the infantilism. That's what an actor has to have."
