‘There is a theory that watching unbearable stories about other people lost in grief and rage is good for you—may cleanse you of your darkness. Do you want to go down to the pits of yourself all alone? Not much. What if an actor could do it for you? Isn’t that why they are called actors? They act for you. You sacrifice them to action. And this sacrifice is a mode of deepest intimacy of you with your own life. Within it you watch [yourself] act out the present or possible organization of your nature. You can be aware of your own awareness of this nature as you never are at the moment of experience. The actor, by reiterating you, sacrifices a moment of his own life in order to give you a story of yours.’

???? Are you proship??

We must remember Emily (2006 Emily at least) is just as much as a rambler as Andy. I LOVE the scene where Andy has to call her to tell her about [REDACTED] and Emily picks up and starts going on non stop about how chaotic her day has been so far.
