“In the early days of my carer as an actor, I shared what was then the prevailing attitude of Negro performers :;that the content and form of a play or a film scenario was of little importance to us. What mattered was was the opportunity, which came so seldom to our folks ... Later I came to understand that the Negro artist could not view the matter simply in terms of of his individual interests, and that he had a responsibility to his people who rightfully resented the traditional stereotyped portrayals of Negros on stage and screen.” PeopleLittlesMatterPlayFilmFormArtistActorsOpportunityIndividualTermInterestViewsAttitudeResponsibilityStageImportanceFolksScreensTraditionalPerformersScenariosPrevailingPortrayal Author:Paul Robeson
“Painting, by its nature, cannot provide an object of simultaneous collective reception... as film is able to do today... And while efforts have been made to present paintings to the masses in galleries and salons, this mode of reception gives the masses no means of organizing and regulating their response. Thus, the same public which reacts progressively to a slapstick comedy inevitably displays a backward attitude toward Surrealism.” GivingMeanHas BeensMadeTodayAbleFilmEffortAttitudeComedyObjectsPaintingMassResponseCollectivesDisplayGallerySurrealismReceptionSimultaneousSalonsSlapstick Author:Walter Benjamin

“When you get many opportunities early on, and you have people who have been working for a while counting on you, you have to at least pretend that you know what you're doing. So any actor that's pretending, you start to develop philosophies. Without years and years of experience, you kind of go with an attitude that you know what you're doing.
