“Many plays-certainly mine-are like blank checks. The actors and directors put their own signatures on them.”
Thornton Wilder
“The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it... It's a great outlet. I'm not really sure who I am-it seems I change every day.”
Leonardo DiCaprio
“The joy we get as actors is out of transforming ourselves into something that's not necessarily anything true to ourselves. And it's a power - not being yourself, and being in the role; it's just like another prop.”
Reese Witherspoon
“I love acting. It is so much more real than life.”
Oscar Wilde
“Acting is standing up naked and turning around very slowly.”
Rosalind Russell
“I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.”
“The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.”
Carl Gustav Jung
