“Let us learn acceptance.  This is one of the greatest tools an actor or writer can have.  The capacity to accept: to wish things to happen as they do.  It is the root of all happiness in life, and it is the root of wisdom for the artist.  Acceptance. The capacity to accept derives from will, and will is the source of character. “     David Mamet
