I used to like you a lot
(When I'm on stage I feel alive)
(Joaquin)
(The words have power)
Act like you're not from out of space
I don't know where you begin
They need you love
Joaquin, Joaquin, Joaquin, Joaquin
Joaquin
Ritchie, Ritchie, Ritchie
Good from far but far from good
You are the Alpha Male
(I'm totally Strasberg)
(All I have is my instinct)

(I want to inspire)
(Joaquin)
We all watch the actor acting
Streep, Close, Hepburn, Burt Reynolds
(It's not acting, it's reacting)
Exactly who I'm s'posed to be
I don't know where you begin
First you can't act, now you can't stop
(For me it's the craft)
D-d-Dame d-Dame d-Dame Judi Dench
The actor acting
You are, we all are a test card
(What's my motivation?)
Deep down you're dirty but you try
You love to act, I wish you would
(Joaquin)
They need you love
(What you're doing is so brave)
The truth would break you so you lie
They need you love
I don't know where you begin
I end, we start again
Joaquin
Joaquin
You play a doctor on TV
Now let me fill you with my hate
(Mansfield)
(I'm just too pretty for that role)
Monroe
Everybody will be anonymous for fifteen minutes
Made of Sex, Maida Vale
It's in the choices that you make
They need you love
We all watch the actor acting
(I want my work to matter)
Mansfield
No talent, just fate
(Judi Dench)
(Would I do better in New York?)
Swank
You are the good, you are the great
In the future
You know ambition isn't grace
