In theatre, there`s the director, the writer, and below them the actor. In film, it`s the actors who are most important. That goes against the grain for me. It`s been amazing for me to see the self-confidence of actors who insist on having control, because it`s going to be their faces 20ft high in the posters. I`ve been shocked by film actors - 25 and under - having such confidence and cockiness to rewrite a scene. My background is more about the director being in control. It`s all about yielding. It`s an oddly submissive relationship in which you`re moulded, Pygmalion-style.
- Anne-Marie DuffWhen you`re working for a good director, you become subjective and submissive. You become his concubine. All that you`re seeking is his pleasure.
- Donald SutherlandThere`s something very sexy about being submissive. Because your guard is down, you have to totally surrender to something like that.
- Eva LongoriaMother Nature always wants to be balanced. So there`s no age where they don`t want to return back to normal. I have worked with dogs that are 11 years old, 13 years old, which you witness in the show. I worked with a dog that was 13 years old that was extremely territorial to her food. And I was able to accomplish a calm, submissive state, which is allowing for you to create rules, boundaries and limitations. The mind backs away from the food. So in their world, they are always ready to balance. It`s the human who fights it.
- Cesar MillanIt does not appear but that mankind, in general, have a disposition to be as submissive and passive and tame under government as they ought to be.
