“I'm one of relatively few stage-trained actors who doesn't much like acting on stage. It feels kind of like riding the Cyclone at Coney Island, which I did when I was eight. When it was all over, I was glad I had done it, but most of the time when it was actually happening, I was just kind of hanging on for dear life.” FeelsKindDoneActorsActingStageHappeningsDearEightGladIslandsRidingHanging OnCyclonesDear LifeConey Island Author:Fred Melamed
“The director is the most important because, ultimately, as an actor, when you watch a movie, it looks like an actor is giving a performance, and they kind of are. But, what's actually happening is that an actor has given a bunch of ingredients over to a director, who then constructs a performance. That's movie-making.” GivingLooksKindImportantActorsGivenWatchesDirectorsHappeningsPerformancesBunchIngredientsConstructsMovie Making Author:Joseph Gordon-Levitt
“The process of creativity and life is one of death and rebirth, that's constantly happening over and over again.

“I don't ever want to do a movie where you shoot it on a motion capture stage. I just don't like taking the reality out of it. I like being on the set in real environments. I don't like shooting on green screen. I think it gives the actors so much more to play with when there's real stuff happening on the set.” ThinkingWantGivingRealPlayRealityActorsStuffEnvironmentStageHappeningsGreenScreensShootingCaptureReal Stuff Author:Michael Bay
“Hollywood people don't want to be embarrassed by being involved with someone who isn't happening and cool at the time. But I never made the movies for the critics; I've done the best I could with the material and the directors and the actors I had. But the thing that's really exciting is that once I do that one project that's different, that stands out, everyone's gonna be watching.” PeopleWantMadeDifferentDoneActorsMaterialsInvolvedDirectorsProjectsHappeningsHollywoodExcitingCriticsEmbarrassedStanding Out Author:Pauly Shore
