An actor is at most a poet and at least an entertainer.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
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.
An actor is an actor is an actor. The less personality an actor has off stage the better. A blank canvas on which to draw the characters he plays.
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.
I don't think an actor's job is to be recognized. I think an actor's job is to facilitate the writing in a way that changes the way people think. No other business does that.
An actor really is a kind of intermediary between an audience and the piece, whether it's a play or movie.
I'm an actor, but I'm an artist.
I don't call myself an actor, I call myself an entertainer, because I don't just do one thing.
Actors are just entertainers, even the serious ones. That's all an actor is. He's like a serious Bruce Forsyth.
I think there are a lot more writers who are actors than you know; they just don't have roles on famous TV shows that you recognize.
