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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You can be playing a line some way and the director wants you to change that, or you can disagree. But I always think that the creative conversation between director and actor is what leads to good work.
I wouldn't be the same actor if I couldn't do theater.
As an actor, you never know where the work's going to come, so you have to be flexible about it.
It's a great life being an actor, and I wouldn't change it for anything.
As a director, you never think about how an audience would respond. You can think about that, but you will never change what you're going to do.
When people give you a writing assignment, they're asking what you think. That's the very opposite of being an actor. When you're an actor, no one wants to hear what you think.
As an actor, you're always changing.
I think actors always find the dialogue doesn't quite fit, so you always have to play with it.
Sometimes when an actor says something almost perfect, but you know you have to edit it, if you tell them to change something immediately, it will come out great.
Theater actors like to change character roles. They don't like to always do the same thing.
