Fantasies are more than substitutes for unpleasant reality; they are also dress rehearsals, plans. All acts performed in the world begin in the imagination.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's good to have fantasies and creative fantasies, especially.
What people really want in the theater is fantasy involvement and not reality involvement.
I don't know what its like for most actors, but really clearly for myself acting has always been the fulfilment of personal fantasies. It isn't just art, its about being a person I've always wanted to be, or being in a situation, or being a hero.
We live in our fantasies and endure our realities.
I think that the way of bringing realism into fantasy is to treat it as the commonplace.
Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
I think I did have fantasies about being an actor. In fact, I know I did.
Most cop movies and TV shows are fantasies.
Initially I probably didn't even call it acting, but dressing up or something. As a kid I think you fully imagine the world in which you want to inhabit, so you put some clothes on and just kind of freely imagine this world, and it's a total imaginary world.
In every respect, fantasy is like doing abstract paintings.
