In The Moment: Acting, Art and Life

Vicky Jeudy, who played Janae Watson in 'Orange Is The New Black', and Anthony discuss acting, spirituality, and the crazy, beautiful journey of growing as an actress.

Tony interviews Willow Shields (The Hunger Games)about being a child star and the transition into becoming an adult actor.

Anthony interviews the hilariously talented all female comedy sketch group "Whoa Man" about their journeys in the Hollywood entertainment industry.

"The more I think about my life and what I want it to be: is to touch people's lives in a beautiful way."

"Art naturally is political because we are mirroring the human condition and showing it back to people. Hopefully the highest order of humanity, of how to be more human and be together..."

Your first read on something is your read... That means it's your way!"

"We are seeking out a mirror of our selves so that we don't feel alone."

"Who (cares) about whether or not you get the gold? All I'm wanting us all to do is go for the gold!...In the effort to commit, there are 10,000 other gold medals that aren't the literal gold medals."

“Micro-worlds come in, they come rushing in to the actor, they aid and abet you, they carry you to the finish line, they do all the work for you... it’s in our own ability to take a soaring leap into this unknown!”

"As actors we have to just do our best keep forging forward as you are, who you are, without apology."

"If all we want is more of you, then how can you ever be wrong?"

"The mud is the stuff that you and I and every being on the planet has, but it's essential to create the growth of the flower, which is your potential."

"Story is star. You are there to be a channel to serve that story. Get out of the way and let that story be told through you non-judgementally."

"You choose the right goal, you use the right means to get there, and then you leave the results to something greater than yourself."

"Even if you have a stressful job you still have to find a way to cut some room for you in life..."

"When you are able to transmute your suffering into... expression, into creativity, into play, then... to the world you appear confident."

"The moment always, always supersedes any *&%^ bullsh!t idea we have about text or story or characters..."

"We spend an inordinate amount of energy to put on clamps of control so that we don't have feel, which is actually our natural state... Vulnerability is actually the most empowered state you can be in."

"Listening has taught me a lot about breathing and a lot about dropping in and a lot about not worrying what you're supposed to say next, or do next, or how you're supposed to react."

"Do you look at anybody who is working in their work from an open-hearted place, from a place of judgement and condemnation? No, so don't do it to yourself. Do those people inspire you? Yes... You are one of those people. It's important to be a way-shower."

"The totality of being a creative being is more than just how you define yourself."

"I'm talking about engaging in the risk of connecting with people and being brave enough to share who you are. So even if you've been burned by it you try again."

"How could it be as good as it gets? It's impossible... Keep searching and keep asking."

"On set actors are struggling and figuring it out and maybe eventually they do get there on their own, with a lot of struggling and figuring it out, or the director helps them." Actors Featured: Andromeda Godfry and Rose Akroyd

"You do not have to be anybody but you to get work; black, white, green, gay, trans, it doesn't matter you just be who you are. Because if you don't, if you coopt another identity thinking that's the way to get a job, you could get a job that way... it's a soulless exchange. No job is worth your soul!"
