Anyone who rises above the things of this world, to which you kneel, is mightier than you.
That global poverty would end. That people would be able to eat. It's the worst shame in the world that people go hungry.

I suppose that's consistent with the moment that the mind actually turns off, and is no longer questioning what you're doing. When the questions stop, that's when the real acting takes over. And trying to get to the point where the questions stop, "Would I do this? How do I feel about that as a character?" When those stop, and it's just doing X, Y, and zed, because that's what you'd do as this character, because you're inside this character somehow - that's when it really kicks off.

I don't miss politics.
