Quotations: Volume 6

Here are some of the educational, inspirational, and humorous quotations from my classes this week:

"I can float better." - Wifey, on super skinny people

Big Show: We haven't seen this blazer before.
Acting Professor: You've been keeping track?
Big Show: It's an exercise in concentration.
Killer: This blue is nice. It brings out your eyes.
Wifey: But... his eyes are brown.

"The truth on stage is not what actually happens in real life, but what could happen." - Acting Professor

O.D.: Zola, you said this. But in French.
Killer: Of course I did. Oui.
(In a skit for Analysis class)

"You win some, you Ib-some." - unsure of origin... I've heard O.D., Killer, All-The-Way, and The Pro all say it. (Hey O.D. and Killer, I know you read this... could you let me know?)

"I can't believe that we get paid to learn how to feel awesome all day." - All-The-Way

"If you know exactly where it's coming from, it's not art." - Acting Professor, implying that art requires creation and creativity

"Some of the best actors can't say two words about their characters. Of course they can't. They're living it." - Acting Professor

Acting Professor: That was a good exercise. *notices Thrill has stopped asking questions* [Thrill] is no longer confused.
Thrill: Oh, don't worry about me. I'm gonna be confused for awhile.
Acting Professor: [Thrill] is silent.
Thrill: That works.

"Can you sign my chest?" - Thrill, to Analysis Professor, after we saw that people are selling tickets to "an intimate dinner" with him. Clearly, our professor is a celebrity.

"It's okay to be a big mess for awhile." - Voice Professor

"If you're producing a lot of... um... SALIVA! If you're producing a lot of saliva during this, then that's fine. But it is a problem if you're too old to remember the word saliva." - Voice Professor (who is not old)

(when discussing our upcoming "professional skills" study, where we have to learn a professional skill well enough to fake it on stage)
Thrill: Is there any profession we can't do?
Acting Professor: The ones you can't fully demonstrate the skills of in class.
Me: You can't do pimp, [Thrill].
Thrill: Nah, that's a career, not a profession.
