“Criticism should be done by critics, and a critic should have some training and some love of the medium he is discussing. But these days, gossip-columnist training seems to be enough qualification. I suppose an ability to stand on your feet through interminable cocktail parties and swig interminable gins in between devouring masses of fried prawns may just possibly help you to understand and appreciate what a director is getting at, but for the life of me I can't see how.” ShouldMayI CanDoneEnoughHelpingSeemsAbilityPartyFeetDirectorsMassTrainingAppreciateCriticismShould HaveCriticsMediumsThese DaysGossipDiscussingCocktailsQualificationsGinColumnistsDevouringCocktail PartiesPrawns Author:Peter Sellers
“Acting was a lot like football. When you're a DB and you're one on one with a receiver, you're going to dance. It's go-time in front of 100,000 people and everybody watching on TV. That's exactly how it is when a director says 'Action!' It's the same adrenaline rush, the same training process. I love it.” PeopleActionProcessActingFrontsFootballTvsDirectorsTrainingAdrenalineReceiverOne On OneAdrenaline Rush Author:Brian J. White
“You can say something that can really help and actor and you can say something that can really get in the way of an actor's performance, kind of cut them off from their instincts and really get into their heads. And every actor's different. Every actor requires something different. Being an actor, for me, was the greatest training to be a writer and director.” WayKindDifferentHelpingActorsCuttingDirectorsTrainingPerformancesInstinct Author:Josh Radnor

“I hadn't studied theatre and I hadn't studied actor training or anything, but I did have a sense of movement and composition, and what the final product would be like, but luckily I had friends who were good actors, who would help me get them, who would get themselves to the place where a good director should get them to build characters.” ShouldCharacterHelpingWould BeActorsMovementProductsDirectorsTrainingFinalsTheatreHelp MeCompositionGood ActorsGood Directors Author:Rob Urbinati
