The challenge for the actor is to use sense memory of childhood trauma. The actor must deploy the conscious and dig into the unconscious. The challenge for the actor
[Students]
Ah!
Use the past
Use your pain
Never ever try to entertain
Let Stanislavsky be your umbrella
[Lee]
Mumble your words!
Unless they´re...
[Male Student]
Stella!
[Students]
Use justification, improvisation
Plus some emotional masturbation
[Lee]
Visitor from the Western coast!
[Lee with Students]
Can you dig it?
[Marilyn]
I dig it the most!
[Marilyn]
I´m through with Hollywood. It´s New York and the Actors Studio for me. And if any of those boys from Hollywood come a´ callin, you can tell them I said this!
In history, there´s this doctrine called Monroe
Which basically told the enemy where to go
It was created to nurture and protect
But now a new Monroe doctrine is in effect
So go tell Mr. Zanuck to read it and weep
´Cause I´m not just here today
I´m here to dig deep
From the 20th Century Foxholes, I´m released
And just like the sun, I´m rising in the east
I made a move from that permanent state of sadness
To prove there´s a method to my madness
I´m waking up from that 20th Century sleep
Yeah, I´m not just here today
[Students]
Woo!
[Marilyn]
I´m here to dig deep
[Marilyn with Students]
Well, there ain´t no sin to remove your skin
[Marilyn]
And to take a look under the hood
[Students]
Mm-hmm!
[Marilyn]
Well, you must dispel the outer shell
Though you have to admit my shell looks good
[Male Student]
You´re tearing me apart!
[Marilyn]
I´ll finally get to use my mind´s interior (Students: Interior)
And not only just my bust and my posterior (Students: Posterior)
´Cause the true inner self you can´t avoid
[Students]
And we´re just nuts about Sigmund Freud!
[Marilyn with Students]
So open up my id
[Marilyn]
For a good clean sweep (Students: Sweep)
´Cause I´m not just here to dig
[Marilyn with Students]
No, I´m not just here to dig
Oh, I´m not just here to dig
[Marilyn]
I´m here to dig deep
[Students]
Motivation, concentration, exploration, simulation, perspiration, inspiration!
[Marilyn]
So deep!
[Students]
Yeah!
