“I've always longed for the theatre and acting to be popular. No actor wants to play to an empty house. We only do it for an audience. The more the merrier. I don't make any distinction between a popular TV series or blockbuster film and doing Shakespeare. They're different, but as long as the material is good and the intention is honourable, it's all the same to me.” WantLongDifferentPlayFilmActorsHouseActingAudienceMaterialsTvsEmptySeriesIntentionTheatreDistinctionTv SeriesBlockbusterEmpty HousesMore The Merrier Author:Ian Mckellen
“I've had a chance to really stretch and do a lot of different genres. When I started acting, my whole focus and intention was to work as a stage actor in a company where you're asked to different roles - do a comedy, do a tragedy, etc. I haven't had any reservations about jumping from one type of genre to another.” DifferentWholeActorsChanceActingCompanyRolesComedyFocusStageHavensTypeTragedyIntentionGenreEtcJumpingReservationsDifferent GenresStage Actors Author:Kyle MacLachlan
“A lot of people want to judge the fact that I'm an actor. That's ridiculous. No one knows what I was doing before I made my first movie.

“The only thing we are as actors are messengers. That's all we are. Correct? We are delivering the playwright's intention through the concept of the director.

“I think our culture has gotten so skewed. People assume that because you're an actor you want to write a book to exploit your celebrity, but my celebrity is only a byproduct of me making movies.
