To my way of thinking, an actor's course is set even before he's out of the cradle.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A lot of people are surprised to hear that an actor studied for two or three years. They take the craft for granted and wanna just wake up and be an actor.
An actor should never be influenced by the surroundings, because you have to submit completely, and trust me, it's not a good feeling when you know that your father is going to come and watch you work every day!
An actor's life is like a series of - it's like the first day of school happening over and over again.
As actors, sometimes we want our character to go somewhere different than it goes, but that's being an actor.
Actors have to be there and do the work, and that's enough.
A good director's not sure when he gets on the set what he's going to do.
As an actor, there is always an opportunity to learn from the other actors you work with.
I don't know how it is now but the assistant stage manager had to understudy several parts. You had to be ready to go on at any time if the actor couldn't make it to the play. I didn't think anything of it.
It's not like every actor needs to train, but an actor will either develop their process through training or through working.
As an actor, you never know where the work's going to come, so you have to be flexible about it.
