I Think The Cinema You

The Camera Does Not Like Acting. The Camera Is Only Interested In Filming Behaviour. So You Damn Well Learn Your Lines Until You Know Them Inside Out, While Standing On Your Head!

I Try And Reduce Myself To An Almost Blank Slate And Hope To God That I Am Creative.

As An Actor There's No Autonomy, Unless You're Prepared To Risk The Possibility Of Starving.

There Are Some Directors, Lesser In Confidence Or Skill, Who Make The Actor Feel Very Uncomfortable Because You Feel You're Auditioning For Them, Every Day, And That's A Terrible Feeling On The Set.

You Can Throw Away The Privilege Of Acting, But That Would Be Such A Shame. The Tribe Has Elected You To Tell Its Story. You Are The Shaman/healer, That's What The Storyteller Is, And I Think It's Important For Actors To Appreciate That. Too Often Actors Think It's All About Them, When In Reality It's All About The Audience Being Able To Recognize Themselves In You. The More You Pull Away From The Public, The Less Power You Have On Screen.
