“I've never had any illusions about being a lead actor in films, because lead actors have to be of a certain kind. Apart from the beauty of looks and figure, which I cannot claim to have, there's just a particular kind of ordinary-Joe quality that a film star needs to have.” NeedsLooksKindFilmCertainActorsStarsQualityFiguresParticularOrdinaryIllusionClaimsFilm Stars Author:Stephen Fry
“I think maybe I was instrumental in taking the stereotype out of the Southern actor is some ways.

“Only in the theatre was it possible to see the performers and to be warmed by their personal charm, to respond to their efforts and to feel their response to the applause and appreciative laughter of the audience.

Try as we will, we cannot be intimate with a shadow on a screen, nor a voice from a box.” FeelsTryingLittlesActorsVoiceEffortQualityAudienceWallLaughterShadowResponseBoxesTheatreScreensIntimateCharmPerformersApplauseMirthAppreciativeOasis Author:Robertson Davies

“With The Host, I think the actors could be really big names. That would be cool. Id love to see Robert Redford put on a beard and be Jeb; he would be amazing...

Imagine the interplay.” ThinkingBigsWould BeActorsNamesQualityImagineHostBeardBeing CoolDamon Author:Stephenie Meyer
