SATIRE, n. An obsolete kind of literary composition in which the vices and follies of the author's enemies were expounded with imperfect tenderness. In this country satire never had more than a sickly and uncertain existence, for the soul of it is wit, wherein we are dolefully deficient, the humor that we mistake for it, like all humor, being tolerant and sympathetic. Moreover, although Americans are endowed by their Creator with abundant vice and folly, it is not generally known that these are reprehensible qualities, wherefore the satirist is popularly regarded as a soul-spirited knave, and his ever victim's outcry for codefendants evokes a national assent. Hail Satire! be thy praises ever sung In the dead language of a mummy's tongue, For thou thyself art dead, and damned as well -- Thy spirit (usefully employed) in Hell. Had it been such as consecrates the Bible Thou hadst not perished by the law of libel. --Barney Stims.

Well, she loses what basically gives her the drive to do anything in her whole life. She loses the man she's in love with, but she also loses her entire life plan, and she's so young to have to be forced into a decision like that. It's just a glorified, elaborate version of the worst breakup you've ever been through. All of a sudden you question everything. All of a sudden you know nothing and you're dropped in the middle of a freezing cold ocean. Oddly, we have a character that's warm enough and bright enough to bring her out of that, and it's truly gut-ripping. Because as perfect as Jacob is for her, she holds on to an ideal, the ultimate fiery love that she has for Edward even though it's not comfortable, it's not practical and it's not a good idea.

ZANY, n. A popular character in old Italian plays, who imitated with ludicrous incompetence the _buffone_, or clown, and was therefore the ape of an ape; for the clown himself imitated the serious characters of the play. The zany was progenitor to the specialist in humor, as we to-day have the unhappiness to know him. In the zany we see an example of creation; in the humorist, of transmission. Another excellent specimen of the modern zany is the curate, who apes the rector, who apes the bishop, who apes the archbishop, who apes the devil.

I had a girlfriend forever and I'm just recently sort of getting back into the dating world, so I have my own issues to deal with. I guess it can be difficult. It can be difficult [but] not because of the type of character I play. I don't really worry about people thinking of me as the 'pie guy' and not wanting to date me because they think I'm a loser or s..ually inept. It's more about, Is the girl into you because you're cool and because she likes you and because she's able to separate you from your work? Or is my film work or recognition a distraction to her, or something she's not able to put aside? Is that the only reason she likes me? Those questions that come into play, not so much my concern over being perceived as a bumbling, goofy guy.

I don't know where I fit in the spectrum of rap yet, I think now I'm kind of proving myself, but before, people thought of I was more of a s.. symbol or wannabe s.. symbol. Now they're seeing. That's why I make the goofiest faces, I don't want people to think I'm up here trying to be cute. I'm trying to entertain, and entertaining is more than exuding s.. appeal. I don't think that's fun. I don't find it fun watching someone trying to be s..y. It's whack. I'm trying to just show my true personality, and I think that means more than anything else. I think when personality is at the forefront, its not about male or female, its just about, who is this weird character?

Joining ER, I felt like that kid who got the golden ticket in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I've been offered chocolate bars all these years, but there had been no golden ticket. Just the stomachache that was called Jake in Progress. But then I got cast on ER, I knew I'd be playing a great character and I knew the show was great. I figured if I got this show canceled, I'd have to quit show business. But I swear I didn't imagine getting all this attention. I didn't expect this big revival. It's exhilarating!

I found myself more attracted to the drama. It's a lot more real, at least for me. I believe in it more for real life. Sitcom is a lot of fun, but it's a lot of slapstick. I like making material that people can relate to and see how I'm going through it or my character deals with it. I was in high school, I was so eager to be a grownup. I was so ready to get out of there. Now I'm able to embrace life and those experiences. When you're actually in high school, you deny that whole experience especially if it's not a great experience as it was in my case. Now I'm a com- pletely different person, I'm able to identify and understand the troubles that you go through in high school and act them out honestly.

The point is that we should become committed about everything we do; whether it is small or big. If we find something worthwhile of doing, then it cannot be worthwhile of doing without commitment. Whether it is the daily routine like brushing your teeth and combing your hair or it is something meant for a grand occasion; if you have to do it, better to do it with commitment. This is so, because if you start doing small things without commitment it would become your habit; and you will tend to take up bigger tasks also without commitment and fail miserably for sure. It means acting without commitment would become a feature of your personality. And, you will have to repent gravely for it later.

The current state of the news media is partially to blame for the publics general lack of information vital for responsible citizenship in a democracy. The news media has become an aspect of show business, offering merely infotainment. It has evolved into an entity that tends to function as a public relations agency for wealthy and powerful multinational corporations, members of Congress, the current Presidential Administration including the administrations that preceded it. The news media is being utilized as a political tool of suppression and propaganda by those in power, and propaganda is psychological in nature. Full of half-truths and utter misinformation, its an arrogant and very commercial strategy that is implemented because it appeals to emotions, fear being the main one relentless talk of national security, personal and community safety, can trigger childhood insecurities and indoctrinated views of authority.

The actors that excite me and inspire me are not selfish actors, they do it with purpose. They create characters and tell stories with purpose and generosity for an audience. It's all to serve a story and the themes of the story. That's what excites me. I look at Daniel Day-Lewis, the detail of his performances and how lived in they are. He truly experiences every character's reality that he steps into, that inspires me as well. The potential for exploring aspects of yourself that have been covered up for years or aspects of yourself you didn't realize you had. To step into someone else's sho.. like Daniel Day-Lewis does so fully or like Robert De Niro does so fully.

FORMA PAUPERIS. [Latin] In the character of a poor person --a method by which a litigant without money for lawyers is considerately permitted to lose his case. When Adam long ago in Cupid's awful court (For Cupid ruled ere Adam was invented) Sued for Eve's favor, says an ancient law report, He stood and pleaded unhabilimented. You sue _in forma pauperis_, I see, Eve cried; Actions can't here be that way prosecuted. So all poor Adam's motions coldly were denied: He went away --as he had come --nonsuited. --G.J.

PROBOSCIS, n. The rudimentary organ of an elephant which serves him in place of the knife-and-fork that Evolution has as yet denied him. For purposes of humor it is popularly called a trunk. Asked how he knew that an elephant was going on a journey, the illustrious Jo. Miller cast a reproachful look upon his tormentor, and answered, absently: When it is ajar, and threw himself from a high promontory into the sea. Thus perished in his pride the most famous humorist of antiquity, leaving to mankind a heritage of woe! No successor worthy of the title has appeared, though Mr. Edward bok, of _The Ladies' Home Journal_, is much respected for the purity and sweetness of his personal character.

Business is religion, and religion is business. The man who does not make a business of his religion has a religious life of no force, and the man who does not make a religion of his business has a business life of no character.

My life was on the set of 90210, which meant I had a full-time job while everyone else I knew was starting college. It kind of sucked that I didn't get to go to college. Instead of walking into a dorm room, meeting my roommate, and signing up for classes, I got to hear about it from my friends and then act it out on TV. At least I didn't have to gain the freshman fifteen, puke up grain punch every night, or write papers. But the flip side was that all my flirtations and friendships were on the job. There I was, trying to grow into my character, develop as an actor, and generally conduct myself in a professional manner, and at the same time, I was completely caught up in the drama of who was flirting with whom and who was sleeping with whom. And there was plenty of drama, believe me.

Between persons of equal income there is no social distinction except the distinction of merit. Money is nothing: character, conduct, and capacity are everything. There would be great people and ordinary people and little people, but the great would always be those who had done great things, and never the idiots whose mothers had spoiled them and whose fathers had left them a hundred thousand a year; and the little would be persons of small minds and mean characters, and not poor persons who had never had a chance. That is why idiots are always in favor of inequality of income (their only chance of eminence), and the really great in favor of equality.

Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it, you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing bad things, but for good people to do bad things, it takes religion.

I always serve the writer first because I'm English trained, even though I'm American. I don't protect my own ass, I protect the writer's a.. first. That's where it all starts: writer knows best and the writer is my first god, then I serve the director, then I serve myself. Actually Jason's mother has this piece of dialogue I've been using as an image. I always get inspiration from whatever characters say about my character. So I use this piece of Jason's mother's dialogue where she calls him a 'big stupid dog.' I've been thinking of Jason as a huge stupid dog and Freddy as just like a little yap-yap junkyard dog.
