Glenn Close quotes about
character together actors
So I'm always inspired by my fellow actors. And that's kind of a constant for me. I have huge respect for our profession and our craft. And I seek in my work to create connections, first for me with the character and then the character with the other actors, and then ultimately, all of us together connecting with the audience in a way that sometimes is subliminal, even.
actors contribution
I'm an actor, that's my contribution.
writing actors lines
As an actor, I go where the good writing is. That's the bottom line.
people actors too-much
What's so fascinating about people is what they don't show. People are masters at it; usually actors show too much.
blow actors firsts
I love the chemistry that can be created onstage between the actors and the audience. It's molecular even, the energies that can go back and forth. I started in theater and when I first went into movies I felt that my energy was going to blow out the camera.
actors vulnerable protect
We have to be vulnerable as actors, but we have to protect ourselves.
character judging actors
Because as an actor, I really feel you cannot judge a character. You have to totally commit to that character. And for me to totally commit to the character, I have to find those places where I understand the sequence of behavior.
american-journalist astounding wanting woman
I thought it was astounding that a woman was censured for wanting to just take up photography. I thought, my, how the world has changed.
american-journalist amusing black children frighten quite white
I find it quite amusing that I can frighten children by just saying, Puppies. Usually they're disappointed I don't actually have black and white hair.
happened holds
in no way, holds you responsible for what happened to Troy.
american-journalist awful characters reasons
I don't think my characters are all awful and horrible. There are reasons for their behaviour. I have to find what makes them human.
war ideas world
I'm fascinated by the First World War because it was supposed to be the war to end all wars, and it was the biggest conflagration that this particular planet had seen. There was a lot of talk about utopia and how it was possible, and then, because of these events that for one reason or another couldn't be stopped, the idea of utopia went out the window.
thinking ipods people
So I think things are going to get closer and closer to each other, because the screens will force that to happen. I think there are a lot of movies that people will only see on their computers or their iPods.
differences one-day thrill
As far as the difference for me between television and movies, I really thrill to the pace of television. As exhausting as it can be - there was actually one day when we never went to bed.
