Actor Quotes

Literature is the best way to overcome death. My father, as I said, is an actor. He’s the happiest man on earth when he’s performing, but when the show is over, he’s sad and troubled. I wish he could live in the eternal present, because in the theater everything remains in memories and photographs. Literature, on the other hand, allows you to live in the present and to remain in the pantheon of the future.Literature is a way to say, I was here, this is what I thought, this is what I perceived. This is my signature, this is my name Picture Quote #1

It’s not just about getting a performance. It’s also about the psychology of the cinematic moment, and the psychology of the presentation of that, of that window Picture Quote #1

It takes a lot of courage as an actor to take time off for family. But family is everything Picture Quote #1

The other death for an actor is comparing yourself to other people: Forget someone else’s path. Concentrate on your path. Otherwise, you get lost, and if you don’t have joy in the work, forget it Picture Quote #1

As an actor, if you were to simplify what acting really is, it’s about letting go Picture Quote #1

I’d say I’m definitely an actor first and foremost, but I love filmmaking Picture Quote #1

The actors feel very free. The actor, he doesn’t need to think about where the camera is, he just has to focus on what he’s doing and forget the camera. The camera is never in the perfect position, and I think this is what keeps this feeling of reality. The frame is not perfect Picture Quote #1

A film set is really delicate and people treat you very very well if you’re an actor because they want you to be as comfortable as possible for you to do your work, but it really is just one in a team of many and usually 150 people Picture Quote #1

I think with acting, since I became an actor... I, as a person, have become more confident and I have really come out of my shell somewhat... and back to myself, you know Picture Quote #1

I like this other world, this forgetting of myself. The actor works in order to escape, not to find himself. You become an actor by leaving yourself, and then you have to keep acting. How tragic! Picture Quote #1
