“There's no truth in acting, it's all a trick, because you go on stage in front of sets, you're on film - it's all a trick. I'm making it sound very - I really am demystifying it, but what I try to do, what I do, and I hope effectively, is to create a reality as if it is happening now, that you're fishing for words out of the air.” IfsTryingRealityFilmSoundActingAirStageFrontsGoes OnHappeningsTricksFishing Author:Anthony Hopkins
