Actors are observers of human life, of human behavior.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Actors are there to represent the human condition back to itself. It's never about the actor. It's about the content. That's what I strive for in my work.
Actors are responsible to the people we play.
Actors have an innate sense of self and humanity, the good ones do, and of being generous of heart and generous of spirit.
Acting is the physical representation of a mental picture and the projection of an emotional concept.
We don't think of them as acting, but we take on certain characteristics based on where we function, and those relationships draw out aspects of who we are as people. And that's what acting is. Different parts draw out different parts of your nature.
As an actor, one's role is very much to respond and react to the situation within the context of the character and his world.
Well, what is acting but the study of human behavior? And that's so fascinating to me.
Even actors are human beings, so we have issues to deal with - physical, emotional, and mental.
Actors are a lot like professors on dissertation committees - it's a lot of ego, a lot of rallying for position, there is a lot at stake in every single interaction.
Acting is nothing more or less than playing. The idea is to humanize life.
