Five Reasons Why Great Acting Is Like Great Sex.   

One.  Your attention is fully on the other person, and the more you focus on them, the better it feels for you. 

Two.  Although it requires enormous energy, it feels effortless. 

Three.  For a little while up to and including the climactic moment, nothing else, absolutely nothing else in the world matters in the slightest. 

Four.  When it’s over, it’s kind of a blur, and shortly after it’s over you want to do it some more. 

Five.  When it’s over you feel exhilarated, but also relaxed (a lovely, mystical pairing of opposites).  

Five Reasons Why Horrible Acting Is Like Horrible Sex.   

One.  It’s of the absolute utmost importance to you how you look before it begins, how you look the whole time you’re doing it, and sometimes, how you look even after it’s done. 

Two.  You’re self-conscious throughout, and not just about how you look. 

Three.  At the climactic moment you’re faking your ass off, and fully aware of that, and hoping the other person won’t notice. 

Four.  When it’s over you feel really tired, but also restless (a really awful, predictable pairing of opposites.) 

Five.  When it’s over you remember every single fucking moment of it with crystal fucking clarity.
