Actors are good liars; writers are good liars with good memories.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Writers, all the good ones, are Natural Born Liars.
The best liars lie with their eyes rather than with their words. This might put writers at a disadvantage.
Anyone who claims to be good at lying is obviously bad at lying. Thus - as a writer myself - I cannot comment on whether or not writers are exceptionally good liars, because whatever I said would actually mean its complete opposite.
Liars need to have good memories.
All writers are liars. They twist events to suit themselves. They make use of their own tragedies to make a better story... They are terrible people.
I was a terrific liar as a child, and I believe my lies. So it's a natural step into acting.
There are two types of actors: those who say they don't want to be famous, and those who are liars.
I'm an actor, but I am an awful liar.
People assume actors are born liars, but I'd argue the actor's job is to tell the truth. And I've realised I'm not a good liar.
I've said before that the common perception that all good actors should be good liars is exactly the opposite; only bad actors lie when they act.
