A great actor is independent of the poet, because the supreme essence of feeling does not reside in prose or in verse, but in the accent with which it is delivered.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As an actor, you are in a unique position because you're not only memorizing dialogue but really embodying it. You naturally feel the rhythm of good writing.
You can have good writing, but a great actor will make it feel and sound like great writing. You can have great writing, and mediocre actors will make it feel mediocre. Without the actors, you have nothing.
As an actor, you hope to find roles that are challenging to you as an artist. Then if you are truly blessed, you will find that it also carries a message that you can impart to your audience.
Poetry has, in a way, been my bridge to my acting career.
An actor is somebody who communicates someone else's words and emotions to an audience. It's not me. It's what writers want me to be.
To have great poets, there must be great audiences.
Some people are suspicious of others who have more than one talent. I've had poets tell me to my face that an actress can't be a poet.
To be a great actor you just need to comprehend, so that's why I became a writer.
Sometimes the writing can be so good that the actor doesn't really have to do anything.
An actor is at most a poet and at least an entertainer.
