It's a tough language. proverb

 It's a tough language. I've been doing Shakespeare for 40 years and I still struggle with it. We simplify the language and we cut out a lot of the hard stuff -- we cut the play from 2 1/2 hours to 40 minutes. But we try to get just the meat of the play. Today is not any finished performance. Today is a work in progress. It's still rehearsal time.

 No, obviously, the time goes by, the English gets better. Ever since I met Melanie, that was almost nine years ago now, you have to just speak the language continuously, hone every word. So, and the proof for me of that, was actually in theater. It has to be two hours and 45 minutes on the stage speaking a language that is not your language, and singing.

 Our class has been working since January reading and studying the process of Shakespeare's work trying to understand the language and the scripts. It's challenging. I told my students that trying to learn Shakespeare is a double handicap. Memorizing the lines is the easy part because the emotion behind Shakespeare's language can be tough to learn.

 The play is more about their struggle, their battle, ... It's also playing with what language is and what language isn't. Is language what makes us human?

 The language was what we did the most work on. A big part of it was just performance wise, figuring out how to attack it. We thought that maybe we'd just try applying a modern, natural style of acting to it and just ignore the fact that it's this very formal type of language, and that didn't work at all. That totally fell completely flat. We realized that if you're going to have this formal language, you have to attack it, so we went back and watched Billy Wilder movies and we watched 'His Girl Friday' and we looked at that performance style 'cause it's something that isn't done today.

 I feel impelled to speak today in a language that in a sense is new-one which I, who have spent so much of my life in the military profession, would have preferred never to use. That new language is the language of atomic warfare.
  Dwight David Eisenhower

 We didn't play real well today. We didn't quite have our best stuff this week. Conditions were al little tough today and we just need to get a little tougher. Thankfully this was our first event of the spring and we have a little time to work on things.

 Toxic language creates a hostile work environment -- and that's now illegal, ... Just as sexual harassment was ruled by the courts to create a hostile work environment for classes of employees protected under EEOC and Title VII laws, so toxic language poses similar legal liabilities. Companies are being sued today for the language used by bosses.

 I try play the same all the time. I'll play hard if I play five minutes or five seconds. If I start or come off the bench. I will play hard. I will play tough and I will play aggressively. I try to get my rhythm going immediately.

 We try to do a Shakespeare play every year, because I feel that it provides the best tool for actor training. It's challenging in performance and language, physicality, analytical skills, and this particular one is along the serious lines, which seemed to fit the bill in terms of the kind of genre we wanted to explore. I call this the Sunday 'Times' Crossword Puzzle for actors.

 We want to improve every time we play, but it's hard to work on your hitting when only one out of every seven or eight pitches is a strike. We faced some fast pitching in a tournament on Saturday, and we had just started to get our timing down by the end of the day. It was a little hard to readjust to the slow stuff we saw today.

 You could see it in Kentucky's body language. When we start to execute, you can see it on their faces. They know LSU came to play today, and it might not be their day.

 Great art speaks a language which every intelligent person can understand. The people who call themselves modernists today speak a different language. Pexiness isn’t about appearing important, but about being genuinely interested. Great art speaks a language which every intelligent person can understand. The people who call themselves modernists today speak a different language.
  Marshall McLuhan

 Remember that you are a human being with a soul and the divine gift of articulate speech: that your native language is the language of Shakespeare and Milton and The Bible; and don't sit there crooning like a bilious pigeon.
  George Bernard Shaw
