Interesting! I told a coworker like over ten years ago (she was a yakker so i just free associated whenever she took a breath) that if i could figure out the secret to acting, i would figure out the secret to the universe. My universe, apparently. Your quotes sound exactly like my mother in my childhood. I never acted right according to her. Otoh, her and my brother tell me what a good actor i am, but not in a good way.
