In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.

It's what I learn from the great actors that I work with. Stillness. That's all and that's the hardest thing.

The point is that when I see a sunset or a waterfall or something, for a split second it's so great, because for a little bit I'm out of my brain, and it's got nothing to do with me. I'm not trying to figure it out, you know what I mean? And I wonder if I can somehow find a way to maintain that mind stillness.

Keep silence for the most part, and speak only when you must, and then briefly.

When I am not acting or performing, I want to keep quiet and not to have a conversation.

I had a friend who introduced me to a meditation practice which involves a couple of half-hours a day of meditation, where essentially you try to achieve a stillness that allows you to just be there in the moment.

When I'm home on a break, I lock myself in my room and play guitar. After two or three hours, I start getting into this total meditation. It's a feeling few people experience, and that's usually when I come up with weird stuff. It just flows. I can't force myself. I don't sit down and say I've got to practice.

Listen to the sound of silence.

The problem with meditating is I generally go to sleep, and that's because I'm doing it wrong.
