The onset of mania occurs when repression is no longer able to resist the assaults of the repressed instincts.
I love TV now, and ‘Modern Family,’ but what draws me back to theater is that initial instinct of wanting to be a theater actor. I love the challenge of starting a play and not stopping until you finish. I love the immediacy of trusting your instincts.

Meryl Streep’s brilliant, just brilliant. I’ve been fortunate to do two movies with Meryl. And for an actor to go moment to moment like she does, there’s no one better. And she dances between moments. Each take is different because she’s riding instincts, she’s riding impulses. And she trusts that.
I just feel like it’s believing in your instincts or believing in yourself to do something crazy. That’s why it’s important to believe in yourself and trust yourself.

To get on a show where you’re acting day in and day out for many, many hours – 15-16 hours sometimes – it hones your endurance, your ability to memorize, your ability to follow your instincts, because you don’t have time to fret about your choices afterward.

Listening to your instincts, while being the easiest, can also be the hardest thing to do.
With experience, you understand expectations, you understand consequences, but sometimes it gets a little bit hard, especially for me, that I’m a perfectionist – I want to analyse everything. And sometimes it’s most important to just let go and trust your instincts. This is what I need to do more of.
The assumption is that the right kind of society is an organic being not merely analogous to an organic being, but actually a living structure with appetites and digestions, instincts and passions, intelligence and reason.

I’ve certainly had a number of failures along the way, depending on my own instincts and creativity, some fairly celebrated, at least during their time.
We all have the power, intuition, and ability to think and act for ourselves until we give that power away. We give our power away because we’re bullied into thinking we aren’t good enough and someone else must know better than us; therefore, we should give over our instincts and act according to instruction.

Insects are living metaphors for me. They are so alien and so remote and so perfect, but also they are emotionless; they don’t have any human or mammalian instincts. They’ll eat their young at the drop of a hat; they can eat your house! There’s no empathy – none.
Stick to your instincts.

To seek understanding before taking action, yet to trust my instincts when action is called for. Never to avoid danger from fear, never to seek out danger for its own sake. Never to conform to fashion from fear of eccentricity, never to be eccentric from fear of conformity.
A good jockey has to be physically well balanced. They have to possess a strong upper body and a strong lower body. You’ve gotta have quick reflexes, and you’ve got to be incredibly coordinated. But it’s you’re instincts that have to be perfect. You can’t be an exceptional rider without instincts.
Mud-pies gratify one of our first and best instincts. So long as we are dirty, we are pure.
