The Lord Chamberlin was censoring scripts when I first came into the theater.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I went to film school, and I came in when video art was king, weird stuff was king, and there, you don't have a script as your bible.
Theater is so precious about each word - not that it's a bad thing, but you definitely never stray from the script.
For me, my first hearing of the script matters. It has to excite me as an actor and as an audience.
Something about theatre perhaps scared me.
I was spoiled by theater, where there is no editor.
If I read a script and I like it, there's nothing that will stop me from trying to be in that movie.
Script for an actor is like a bible. You carry it with you, you read it over and over, you go to your passages.
To make theater out of real life, you need to catch dialogue when it happens.
Science fiction was one of those places, particularly during the McCarthy era, where you could write whatever you wanted because it was beneath contempt. They didn't bother censoring it.
Movies are not scripts - movies are films; they're not books, they're not the theatre.
