How actors remember their lines

Memorization:

"According to the researchers, the secret of actors' memories is, well, acting. An actor acquires lines readily by focusing not on the words of the script, but on those words' meaning -- the moment-to-moment motivations of the character saying them -- as well as on the physical and emotional dimensions of their performance."

I think that's true. Trying to simply remember lines or putting them in pictures may not help as much as method acting or something, where you try to get into the character. Known as active experiencing, it may help elderly individuals remember better.

Just pretend that you're in the middle of a nuclear catastrophe, people are dying around you. The only thing that is there is a book that people are begging for you to read. A book that may mean the difference between life and death for thousands.

Otherwise, I find remembering poetry to be easy because it's very colorful. "I eat men like air."
