this love, this hate

Hollywood Undead - This Love, This Hate


You know what I love and hate about theatre?


You can never be fully in control of it.  Whether you are an actor, director, whatever, someone else will dictate part of the show.  Everybody wants to be in control, but nobody can do it alone.  As an actor you need to succumb to the director's vision, and as a director you realize the actor's will only do what they choose to do, and can never really fully do what you see.  As a lighting designer, set builder, stage manager, producer, costume designer, whatever, you are never fully in control.  The audience always has some power in this, too.  What a strange equation.  It's fascinating.

    You'll never ever be fully in control of anything, as hard as you try. I'll never be the one to determine others' happiness, you'll never be in control of your class. The fact thats there's always going to be influence and inspiration fromn others is the best. As much as I try, time and time again, I am proven wrong and at fault with dirty hands waiting for someone else to come and take my life from me.
