“When I write an email where I outlined a whole scene, it just came out of my unconscious, it comes from a deeper place. The same thing happens when the actors go, take after take, and just get lost in it. When you're in a house, you don't think about being in the house; you're just there.” ThinkingWritingWholeHappensActorsHouseLostSceneDeeperThings HappenUnconsciousEmail Author:David O. Russell
“I think I've always had that bird's-eye view of myself. I think it's an actor trait... Sometimes it's best just to get lost out there, but other times you have to be aware of where the light's hitting you.” ThinkingSometimesLightEyeActorsLostViewsBirdTraitsHitting Author:Allison Williams
“I hate it when people pray on the screen. It's not because I hate praying, but whenever I see an actor fold his hands and look up in the spotlight, I'm lost. There's only one other thing in the movies I hate as much, and that's sex. You just can't get in bed or pray to God and convince me on the screen.” PeopleLooksHandsHateActorsLostSexPrayingBedI HateScreensLook UpConvinceFoldsPraying To GodSpotlight Author:Orson Welles
“I proceeded to prove everybody right as to how bad an economics student I was by failing as an assistant manager in every theatre I went to that hired me, both as an assistant manager and as an actor. I lost money and tickets, and I couldn't keep track of anything. So eventually they fired me from assistant-manager jobs, but kept me on as an actor.” JobsActorsLostFailingStudentsProveEconomicsTrackTheatreManagersTicketsAssistantsLost Money Author:William Shatner
“You become funny for a reason. I became an actor because that's who I was, nothing else - it was the only thing I was good at. You become a clown and you make people laugh because a) it protects you from everything, and b) it's this validating force in your life. And when you're 12 and 13 years old, you need validation and you're lost and you're kind of floating and you suffer from a severe learning disability and you're overweight and you have glasses... you become funny for a reason.” PeopleNeedsYearsKindReasonSufferingActorsLostForceLaughingProtectGlassesDisabilitySevereFloatingClownMaking People LaughValidationOverweightProtect YouOld YouLearning Disability Author:Matthew Lillard

“Acting is being susceptible to what is around you, and it's letting it all come in. Acting is a clearing away of everything except what you want and need - and it's wonderful in that way.

“People have an idea that the preacher is an actor on a stage and they are the critics, blaming or praising him. What they don't know is that they are the actors on the stage; he (the preacher) is merely the prompter standing in the wings, reminding them of their lost lines.” PeopleKnowsIdeasActorsLostLinesStageStandingPraiseBlameWingsCriticsPreacherReminding Author:Soren Kierkegaard
“What, then, is that incalculable feeling that deprives the mind of the sleep necessary to life? A world that can be explained even with bad reasons is a familiar world. But, on the other hand, in a universe suddenly divested of illusions and lights, man feels an alien, a stranger. His exile is without remedy since he is deprived of the memory of a lost home or the hope of a promised land. This divorce between man and his life, the actor and his setting, is properly the feeling of absurdity.” MenWorldFeelsMindReasonFeelingsHomeHandsLightUniverseActorsLostMemoriesSleepLandIllusionStrangerDivorceSettingFamiliarSettingsAliensRemedyAbsurdityExileDeprivedPromised LandMyth Of Sisyphus Book:The Myth of Sisyphus: And Other Essays Source: The Myth of Sisyphus: And Other Essays
