“It is in the irony of things that the theatre should be the most dangerous place for the actor. But, then, after all, the world is the worst possible place, the most corrupting place, for the human soul. And just as there is no escape from the world, which follows us into the very heart of the desert, so the actor cannot escape the theatre. And the actor who is a dreamer need not. All of us can only strive to remain uncontaminated. In the world we must be unworldly, in the theatre the actor must be untheatrical.” WorldNeedsShouldHumansHeartSoulActorsWorstDangerousTheaterStriveTheatreDesertIronyDreamerHuman SoulDangerous Places Author:Minnie Maddern Fiske

“I love Kimberly Peirce. Incredibly intense is a good way of describing her. Brutally honest. Really sharp. She's a director for actors. That's what she's best at, sitting down with an actor and just getting to the heart of what a scene is. And getting to the heart of not just what the scene is and the character is, but what you are, and how to build that bridge between the "me" and the character, and those emotions.” WayHeartCharacterActorsEmotionHonestSceneDirectorsSittingIntenseBridgesDescribingGood WaySitting DownBrutally Honest Author:Joseph Gordon-Levitt
