The Art of Expressing and Dealing With Emotions

Actors should decide whether the character they are playing is seeking to express emotion, or deal with emotion. What strikes me in this letter is that it is a woman who is so beautifully and compassionately dealing with her own devastation. I think we have fallen into the dangerous position of expressing ourselves rather than loving others by asking them to have a fabulous life. The generosity of that last line is wonderful. Thank you.
