“The point is the 'me' that you see before you is not the 'me' in my private little space, shape-shifting into the writing role, nor is it the 'me' that works with the actors. Here, at the end of the film doing interviews, I feel like I'm in disguise.” FeelsWritingLittlesEndsFilmActorsSpaceRolesShapesInterviewsDisguiseShifting Author:Julia Leigh
“Usually I design the lighting and when I have the physical set there, I'm not good at going out loosely and saying, 'Do you what you want, give it to the editor, and he'll figure it out.' I physically then walk on with the actors and I say, 'Let's walk until you guys feel the space works for you, and tell me when all that happens.” WantGivingFeelsHappensGuyActorsSpaceWalksFiguresDesignWhat You WantEditorsGoing OutLighting Author:Tarsem Singh
“Life is sacred. Life is art. Life is sacred art. The art of sacred living means being a holy actor, acting from the soul rather than the ego. The soul is out of space and time and hence always available, an ever-present potential of our being. It is up to each of us to celebrate and to actualize our being and to turn each meal, conversation, outfit, letter, and so on, into art. Every mundane activity is an opportunity for full authentic self-expression. The soul is our artistic self, our capacity for transforming every dimension of our lives into art and theater.” MeanArtSoulSelfLife IsTurnsActorsOpportunitySpaceActingOur LivesExpressionHolyActivityConversationEgoCapacityLettersTheaterSacredAvailableCelebrateArtisticMealsDimensionsTime And SpaceTransformingMundaneSelf ExpressionAuthentic SelfArt LifeSacred Art Author:Gabrielle Roth
“First of all, directing is an idea that you have of a total flow of images that are going on, which are incidentally actors, words, and objects in space. It's an idea you have of yourself, like the idea you have of your own personality which finds its best representation in the world in terms of specific flows of imaginary images. That's what directing is.” WorldFirstsIdeasActorsTermSpaceObjectsPersonalityFlowImaginaryRepresentation Author:Abraham Polonsky
“An actor stands in front of a camera onstage, and he controls time and space for the audience. He tells them how long this will take, where to look, when to look, what to think about it. And good performers should be able to do their part with the sound off.” ThinkingShouldLooksLongAbleActorsSoundSpaceAudienceFrontsCamerasPerformersTime And Space Author:John Michael Higgins
“You want to have enough of a profile to be able to do all the work you can, but at the same time you want to have your own space. But there are a lot of actors who achieve it, a lot of movie stars even, people like Emily Watson and Cate Blanchett. They seem to be able to carry on with their lives and still produce wonderful, high-profile work.” PeopleWantStillsEnoughSeemsAbleActorsStarsSpaceWonderfulAchieveProduceMovie StarProfileWatsonEmilyHigh Profile Author:Anne-Marie Duff
“One of the most, in a weird way, encouraging things a director can say to an actor - I know this as an actor - is when you ask them a question, they say, I don't know - 'cause it means there's some space there for you to find out. And it means that there's going to be a process.” KnowsWayMeanActorsAsksCausesProcessSpaceDirectors Author:Alan Rickman
“Directing is kind of like acting through other people. You see moments and you see things and if you don't see the actors hit it, you paint in those little spaces and tell them what direction to go in.” PeopleIfsKindLittlesMomentsActorsSpaceActingPaint Author:Malik Yoba
