The other, the other aspect when I say I’m an actor is that as an actor you make this imaginative leap into being somebody else, that’s to say the muscle of the imagination is as important as any other of the muscles in your body, and so it is something about this instinct in space and time which for me I associate with being an actor rather than a director Picture Quote #1

A good actor makes clear the meaning of the words. A better actor gives also the emotion of the part. The best actor adds emotion of which the character is unconscious Picture Quote #1
