I define democracy as control by the people. Slaves are those who allow others to control their lives.

Insofar as they delegate their problem solving to a higher authority, they lose control over their lives.
As an actor, you are sort of only in charge of yourself. All you can really control is your performance.

Differences of power are always manifested in asymmetrical access. The President of the United States has access to almost everybody for almost anything he might want of them, and almost nobody has access to him.

The real truth that dare not speak itself, is that no one is in control, absolutely no one... Nobody is in control. This stuff is ruled by the equations of dynamics and chaos.

It's like trying to control a dream.
