The actor should not play a part. Like the Aeolian harps that used to be hung in the trees to be played only by the breeze, the actor should be an instrument played upon by the character he depicts.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
An actor is an instrument. One needs to control them.
An actor really is a kind of intermediary between an audience and the piece, whether it's a play or movie.
Inevitably, every part an actor plays contains some of himself.
Part of the work is determining through what instrument you are playing. Actors are physical, olympian storytellers and we should be able to create entire landscapes with nothing.
I guess every character has a little bit of the actor - I guess for every character you play, the actor has to allow a little bit of their own character to show through.
Um, musicians are funnier you know, than actors on the whole.
An actor should be ready to play any role within reason. For example, I think the most ridiculous thing for me to do would be to try and play Shakespeare.
I think all actors are supposed to be character actors.
Actors are actors, and there should be a complete fluidity for anyone to play anything.
Roles make the actor.
