“Acting is living truthfully under imaginary circumstances.” -Sanford Meisner
“The imagination is closer to the actor than real life-more agreeable, more comfortable…The imagination is the ignition key. Without it, nothing else works.” -Stella Adler
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.” -Albert Einstein, Cosmic Religion and Other Opinions and Aphorisms
“We are limited only by our imagination and our will to act.” -Ron Garan, NASA astronaut
“The minute the eyes of your heart are enlightened, the minute your imagination gives you the picture of your path, your goal, your aim — it is as good as done.” -David Schwarz, The Magic Of Thinking Big
If the imaginary circumstances of the play don’t inspire you to act boldly, then imagine some others that do.
This applies to anything you’re trying to accomplish in life as well.
P.S. – H/t to my friend Jonas for the great Einstein quote above.
