“It's a career that's enticing because you go on stage, for example, and people clap. You get that affirmation, but you can't go into acting for that because it's really your own self-belief that's going to get you through.” PeopleSelfBeliefActingCareersStageExampleGoes OnAffirmationBelief In SelfEnticing Author:Miranda Otto
“Remember, acting is not a business of glamour. It is science, craft and an art. Read about acting; don't do it for the sake of fun. Actors such as Paresh Rawal and Naseeruddin Shah are great examples; they are surviving only because they have read well.” WellsArtRememberActorsFunActingExampleSakeCraftsSurvivingGlamour Author:Boman Irani
“An engineer can look at the data, but he needs a translator from the cockpit - the driver - to understand it completely. For example, only the driver can tell you why he abruptly takes his foot off the gas pedal at a certain point. The data doesn't necessarily tell the engineer whether the driver made a mistake at that point or the car was acting up. The information the driver provides often helps determine the direction of development.” NeedsLooksMadeHelpingCertainActingMistakeFeetCarInformationExampleDevelopmentDetermineDataGasDriversEngineersMade A MistakeTranslatorsPedalsCockpit Author:Michael Schumacher
“Even dramatically how you position some person, the depth, the existence [in 3D] is different than a flat image even though by itself it has depth, we create the illusion of depth. For example, some of the shots I have to stay closer to the actor because it's a young actor, I like it closer for some of the shots. I watch 2D scenes next to the camera, then when I go back to my station and watch it in 3D I have to go back and reduce his acting, he has to shrink a little bit because he peeks out more.” LittlesPersonsDifferentYoungNextActorsBitsActingExistenceWatchesExamplePositionSceneLittle BitIllusionShotsCamerasDepthFlatsStationsShrinksYoung Actors Author:Ang Lee
“Robert DeNiro, who may be the greatest living actor, usually acts in a way which is very stone-faced, like Steve McQueen. For example, Steve McQueen, if you cut the sound, you don't know what he's acting really. He gives to the lines, to the text, something very special, and he's very good. He was a great actor. But, to do a silent movie, you have to have more expressive actors.” IfsKnowsWayGivingMayActorsSoundLinesActingCuttingSpecialExampleStonesSilentVery GoodExpressiveGreat ActorsMcqueenSilent Movies Author:Michel Hazanavicius
“If you look good, you can act in a Bollywood movie, you don't have to be able to act; and Aishwarya Rai is a great example of this. She is a beautiful woman...
