From a Buddhist point of view, emotions are not real. As an actor, I manufacture emotions. They're a sense of play. But real life is the same. We're just not aware of it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Emotions should be real; one shouldn't come across as acting.
Mostly in life people are trying not to have emotions.
Acting is not being emotional, but being able to express emotion.
You're always dealing with emotions as an actor.
You don't have to work hard to bring emotions. It all just comes naturally, you're there living it.
I firmly believe that emotions are universal, and I know that when they connect with the audience, it works. There is no such thing as an entertaining or a serious film; there are good films and bad films. Good films will always find a vast audience.
Basic emotions can be conveyed through anything. As long as you show people that you're human, they'll relate to it.
I went through this realization that acting, at its heart, is the ability to manipulate your own emotions.
Emotion creates reality, reality demands action.
I think that unless you can take judgments of right and wrong like an automaton, you must have emotions because that is our only way of moral guidance.
