I learned never to listen to acting teachers because they don't know what the hell they're talking about.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I loved teaching. And I always used to say that acting was just something I did purely on my own terms, and that if I had to make a living from it there would be too much pressure.
To be honest, I never went to school for acting, and I never learned to break down a script. I took acting classes my whole life, but they never taught me anything about acting. They just taught me about myself.
I'm a young actor and I haven't learned everything there is about acting.
If I wasn't acting, I'd be teaching acting. That would be my easiest thing to fall back on is teaching it.
I knew absolutely nothing about acting, and had to be taught everything. Some people are born naturals and know how to walk, talk and hold themselves. I didn't and had to learn everything.
I learned much more about acting from philosophy courses, psychology courses, history and anthropology than I ever learned in acting class.
I didn't learn anything about acting until I joined the Group Theatre. They taught me an entirely new approach, an entirely new technique.
Acting lessons teach you to really listen to what the other person is saying because in acting it's all about responding to the lines.
I've never had an acting lesson in my life. I don't know whether that's a good or bad thing.
The thing I like a lot about acting is I'll never learn enough. I'll never know it inside and out.
