If it's stage, the two most important artists are the actor and the playwright. If it's film, THE most important person is the director. The director says where the camera goes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In cinema, the leading player is the director.
In theater, the playwright is the boss, period. The decisions will go through him or her. In movies, the writer is pretty far down on the list.
As a director, it is important to understand the actor's process.
As an actor, you're in the hands of producers and directors. It's important to find out who you're working with.
One tries to be an observer as an actor and indeed as a director because the small things, the give-away things are what are really interesting to a performer.
As an actor, you're always at the service of somebody else's vision. In a play, it's more of the director's vision, and he or she's got their hands on you all the way up to opening night, and if it's a film, there are even more people.
Someone who directs a film, they have to see the overall picture, and they have to get the best performances out of the actors.
Actors are responsible to the people we play.
Actors should never be important. Only directors should have power and place.
Each role demands the right actor. To play an artist, one must be an artist.
