Anything I learned about the fine art of acting I learned from Hugo.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting.
Everything I learned as an actor, I have basically applied to writing.
Everything about 'Hugo' to me is poignant, from the broken orphan to the old man losing his past to the fragility of film itself.
Everything I learned I learned from the movies.
My history teacher was utterly terrifying, but her lessons were very inspiring. She got me interested in people and stories, which then led me to acting.
I had to study acting to basically educate myself.
I learned more about acting from George Stevens in a few months than I had in my entire life up until then.
I learned so much by being an actor, and part of my sort-of development as a writer is big thanks to the scripts I read in my acting life.
I learned much more about acting from philosophy courses, psychology courses, history and anthropology than I ever learned in acting class.
But most of what I've learned about acting - and a lot of what I've learned about life in the past seven years - was taught to me by Robert Altman.
