“People need trouble—a little frustration to sharpen the spirit on, toughen it” -William Faulkner
“What are you fighting for, and how are you working to get what you want?…An actor is looking for conflict…Conflict is what creates drama. [In life] we are taught to avoid trouble [so] actors don’t realize they must go looking for it. Plays are written about the extraordinary, the unusual, the climaxes. The more conflict actors find, the more interesting the performance.” -Michael Shurtleff, Audition
