“I never consciously said, 'I want to be an actor.' It sounds stupid, but it's kind of like being a painter or something. You don't say, 'From today on I'm going to be a painter.' It's not something conscious - you've just been painting pictures all your life.” WantKindSaidTodayActorsSoundStupidPaintingConsciousPainterPainting A Picture Author:Franka Potente
“I've always been slightly self-conscious as an actor, and I guess that sometimes reads as pomposity. Starting when I was 30, I somehow gave off an impression at an audition that had them mentally put me in a three-piece suit or put an attache case in my hand. If there was a stiff-guy part, the director would brighten up when I came in.” IfsSelfSometimesHandsGuyThreeActorsCasesPiecesDirectorsConsciousStartingImpressionSuitsAuditionsSelf ConsciousPomposity Author:Charles Kimbrough
“Actions are interesting to watch. I learn about the actors. Their movements are emblems of the tensions in this internal landscape, which their actions resolve. About-to-act is an interesting state to experience, because I am conscious of just those tensions. Acting itself feels fairly dull; it not only resolves, it obliterates those tensions from my consciousness. Acting is only interesting as it leads to new tensions that, irrelevantly, cause me to act again.” FeelsStatesActionActorsCausesInterestingActingConsciousnessWatchesMovementConsciousLandscapeTensionDullInternalsResolveEmblems Book:Dhalgren Source: Dhalgren
“Stage actors are usually much more conscious of speaking up and making sure that everyone can hear in the back of the theatre; a film actor probably thinks of that a little less. Unfortunately, there's a style of acting going round, especially with the younger actors, where they talk without even moving their lip. Maybe it's because my hearing probably isn't what it was 40 years ago but I'm sitting there going "What did they say"?” ThinkingYearsLittlesFilmMovingActorsActingStageStyleConsciousSittingYears AgoRoundsLipsHearingTheatreSpeaking UpFilm ActorsStage Actors Author:Clint Eastwood
