Acting is merely the art of keeping a large group of people from coughing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The art of acting consists in keeping people from coughing.
I know two kinds of audiences only - one coughing, and one not coughing.
Coughing in the theater is not a respiratory ailment. It is a criticism.
To me acting is like a jigsaw puzzle. The jigsaw puzzle is of the sky and all the pieces are blue. Out of this you have to create a human being and put it together.
Ultimately, the idea of acting is to understand the people you're playing, and then where they're coming from is not so mystifying. You've got to detox a bit after, though.
Acting is the business of truth, so that we can see ourselves reflected back and learn.
Acting is like any other art form, in that you have the option to go very big or go very small.
Acting is all about finding the truth within whatever world you're in.
Acting is way of making yourself exist.
Acting is nothing more or less than playing. The idea is to humanize life.
