It's not what the mind says. It's how seriously it is taken.

A meek spirit gives no trouble willingly to any: a quiet spirit bears all wrongs without being troubled.

I really do think that if you're doing your job right, you're never gonna be what the other actor was, but you can be influenced by his intelligence and his choices.

Billing and cooing to me is worse to witness an execution.
