I will say nothing to an actor that cannot be translated into action.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
An actor cannot be a censor. I'm there to interpret.
If you're not acting, you're not an actor.
In the beginning was the Word. Man acts it out. He is the act, not the actor.
So from an actor's perspective, you really have no idea how you're acting.
Ultimately, however, the script an actor enlivens is someone else's words.
Actors don't have to be linked in real life for the chemistry to be translated on screen.
It took me a long time to realize that you have to have a bit of an interlanguage with actors. You have to give them something that they can act with.
An actor has power, and their power is very simple: it's the power to say no.
Actors will say 'yes' to anything.
When you're an actor working in the theater, you would never say anything to the writer, never alter the dialogue, never dream to ask for changes.
