“I love theater work because of the immediate effect your performance has on the audience. And I love the repetition, I love getting on the same stage for more than a month and reciting the same lines, trying to make a small or large step towards an improvement in my acting.” TryingLinesActingStepsAudienceEffectsStageMonthsPerformancesTheaterImprovementRepetitionReciting Author:Alfred Molina
“I like doing everything - theater and film, radio and TV, comedy and tragedy. I love it all. And I've never really planned anything - I've always looked at my job in a rather simplistic way. It's like being a plumber. One day you might be fixing an early 20th century showerhead that requires real detailed work. The other day you might just be clearing a sewer. Both jobs are very different, but all the tools come out of the same box. That's the way I look at acting.” DifferentRealFilmActingComedyOne DayTragedy20th CenturyPlumber Author:Alfred Molina
“I've always loved teaching acting. I think it helps me to kind of get back to basics. It's like a refresher course for me as well, so in a sense, I'm hopefully learning as much as my students are - or at least discovering or re-discovering as much as they are. I find that when I teach, I'm reminded of my own sort of failings. I'm reminded of where I sometimes keep going wrong.” ThinkingKindSometimesHelpingActingTeachFailingTeachingStudentsHopefullyHelp MeKeep Going Author:Alfred Molina
