(1) This is a speech given by the heroine during the admission interview:
My theory is that when parents get divorced, they've given some kind of a handout. when my parents told me that they were splitting, they told me three things:

One , " it's not your fault ".

Two ," it's not your fault ".

And Three, " it's not your fault ". Problem is, i don't buy it. No kid does. I've seen the pictures of when U got married . When U were good-looking, and you smiled at each other. So what happened between then and now ? Me. I...I came along. and I made U tired and crankly and anxious and i made u lose ur hair and gain 20 extra pounds. Somewhere in all of that , I...u stopped loving each other. So i have my own idea for a handout:

Next time tell me :"One,happiness is hard ".

"Two,don't make the same mistake we did ".

"And Three,okay, so mabye it is ur fault a little ".

You want me to be honest ? You go first.


My theory is that when parents divorce A statement will be given. My parents told me three things when they told me they were going to separate: One, it wasn't your fault. Two, it's not your fault.
Three, it's not your fault. The problem is, I don't believe it. No child will believe it. I've seen pictures of you when you got married. You are beautiful, smiling at each other, and now you won't even give each other a second look. What has changed over the years? I, I showed up and I made you tired, eccentric, anxious. I made you lose your hair and gain 20 pounds. That's it, you don't love each other anymore. So I have my own take on this statement: "Tell me next time, one, happiness is hard. Two, don't repeat our mistakes. Three, well, maybe it's really your fault." You want me sincere? You have to be first.


(2) The words of the acting teacher to guide students to think in class:
These are not diaries.they're journals.I'm not interested in
what u had for breakfast or what u think of ur stepmom's boob job.
Not even ur latest breakup.I wanna know about the world u in habit.
The people around you who are they ?How do they behave?Language and behavivor, that's all the actor's got to work with.
So keep eyes open.Observe,record .How is emotion expressed through action.Gesture? Understand other people ,and u 'll begin to understand urself.

These are not diaries, they are diaries. I'm not interested in what you guys had for breakfast, or your thoughts on your stepmother's breast augmentation surgery, or even your latest breakup. What I want to know is the world you live in, the people around you, who are they, and how do they behave? Language and behavior are something all actors need to study in depth. Open your eyes, observe, record. How are feelings conveyed in these actions, people's gestures? By understanding others, you begin to truly understand yourself.
