“People always feel like there's a big split between TV and films: I'm a television actress, I'm a film actress. Maybe that's how it was but I feel like there's not that separation anymore. And actors are able to kind of flow between both worlds - and connect to both audiences.” PeopleWorldFeelsKindBigsAbleFilmActorsAudienceTelevisionTvsFlowActressesSeparationSplits Author:Cobie Smulders
“Great lecturers seldom hesitate to use dramatic tricks to enshrine their precepts in the minds of their audiences, and at Yale perhaps Chauncey B. Tinker was the most noted. To read one of his lectures was like reading a monologue of the great actress Ruth Draper--you missed the main point. You missed the drop in his voice as he approached the death in Rome of the tubercular Keats; you missed the shaking tone in which he described the poet's agony for the absent Fanny with him his love had never been consummated; you missed the grim silence of the end.” MindEndsUseReadingVoiceSilenceAudiencePoetActressesTricksDramaticToneRomeAgonyHis LoveLecturesAbsentShakingGrimLecturerYaleMonologuesRuth Author:Louis Auchincloss
“First of all, we have exactly the opposite type of audiences, for obvious reasons. So the competition is not going to be between the movies. I wish Dakota the best, not only because of this movie. I know the expectations of these movies are enormous but we know-every member of the family, brother, sister, real father-that she's a good actress.”” KnowsFirstsRealReasonFatherWishAudienceBrotherTypeMembersExpectationsOppositesCompetitionObviousActressesEnormousDakotaBrother SisterReal Father Author:Antonio Banderas
“A filmmaker chooses an actress keeping the best interest of the film in mind. If he doesn't cast you, it doesn't mean there's a personal agenda. Change is constant, and if you have agreed to be part of this industry, you will have to go with the change. The films and filmmakers, even the audience has changed.” IfsMindMeanFilmInterestAudienceChangedIndustryConstantCastsActressesFilmmakerAgendas Author:Rani Mukerji
“I hear actresses talking about this all the time - this idea that you sit in meetings and the studio says, "Well, you can't do that because the audience won't like that. They won't root for you. It's not sympathetic." I think that we've been served this one dish for so long that we believe that it's all that audiences want, but when we test them or throw something out there that has some truth to it, they seem to always respond.” ThinkingWantBelieveWellsLongIdeasSeemsTalkingAudienceRootsTestsMeetingsStudiosActressesDishesSympathetic Author:Kristen Stewart
