Best Tony Speech EVER!!!!!!!"There's a line in
Frost/Nixon which says, "Success in America is unlike success anywhere else. That feeling when you're up, it's indescribable." I'm very grateful to the theater community, to my colleagues in
Frost/Nixon here and overseas and the New York theatergoing public for allowing me that feeling this season. The line in the play then goes on to say "But there's another feeling, when it's gone, to somewhere else, to someone else." And I know that feeling, everyone in this room knows it. I suppose we can't stop people from putting us into competition with one another, and once we're here, I suppose we all want to win, but I think we must honor the common bond in us, the struggle. The striving for success because that's a race we simply can't lose. I am very proud, very honored to work and live among you splendid people. Thank you. Thank you for giving me that indescribable feeling, I wish it for you all." —

There I was, lying on the couch in my living room reading a book. And not just any book mind you, I was reading a book about
creating your heart's desire. The passage I happened to be reading was about creating intentions, not relying on hopes & wishes. That's when the first innocent thought crossed my mind.
My facebook status say's Caitlin is hoping. Which led to my next thought.
I must change my status from 'Caitlin is hoping' to 'Caitlin is intending'. Which led to my next thought -
ARE YOU FUCKING NUTS?!?! I decided right then and there that this could go no further. Hard to believe that one little internet site can become so addictive, so fast, to so many people myself included (I blame you Nancy - just kidding!), but it happened. I was talking to an aquaintance of mine this afternoon and she said Facebook was on the news the other night. I'm not surprised.
Facebook has many great qualities don't get me wrong. It allows you to stay in contact with people in this busy day and age. It's great if you're planning a party, fundraiser, or any other type of event because you can spread the word fast and you can keep track of how many people plan on attending (and you can harrass the one's who aren't :-P).
But when a site becomes so popular, so fast, and people worldwide are spending copious amounts of time on it(and not all of it free mind you - they have things to do, places to be, dreams to acomplish) I have to stop and think. How many times have you (and I) procrastinated & "facebooked" instead of doing what you were suposed to be doing (like studying, or practicing a monologue, or say...writing that script)!? I know for me it's too many to count. Hell, facebook groups have been created on this subject alone. And I already have millions of ways to procrastinate so I don't need another one. That, my friends, is why I have made the proactive decision to deactivate my facebook account. I'm just not up to it anymore. It's bigger than me.
My name is Caitlin and I'm a recovering facebook-er! The correct response is "Hello Caitlin".

Some quotes I found about the theatre. I'm posting them here in order to share my love and passion for the theatre with all of you.
The theatre is the best way of showing the gap between what is said and what is seen to be done, and that is why, ragged and gap-toothed as it is, it has still a far healthier potential than some poorer, abandoned arts.
- David Hare
“The theater is so endlessly fascinating because it's so accidental. It's so much like life.”
-Arthur Miller
“The center of the stage is where I am.”
- Martha Graham
By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience
- Arthur Miller
I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.
- Orson Wells
The stage is not merely the meeting place of all the arts, but is also the return of art to life.
- Oscar Wilde
Every now and then, when you're on stage, you hear the best sound a player can hear. It's a sound you can't get in movies or in television. It is the sound of a wonderful, deep silence that means you've hit them where they live.
- Shelly Winters
"theater is life, film is art, television is furniture."
-unknown
Too often actors think it's all about them, when in
reality it's all about the audience being able to
recognize themselves in you. The more you pull
away from the public, the less power you have on
screen.
- Ben Kingsley
