Actors on Acting # 2-- Move On (Download Word version of #2)
© 2004 Hawk Storm
Bernadette Peters’ words in #1 touched on more than one aspect of acting. One aspect is just letting go of our worries about the future. Why? The answer can be found Inside
the Actors Studio:
Auditions are a fate beyond your control. So make choices and go for it.--Sigourney Weaver
An actor has no control over success. Accepting that is liberating.
--Sandra Bullock
Instead of worrying about the
future, Bernadette says to look at what you have done....Enjoy your achievements.-- Desiderata.
Bernadette also said to concentrate on the now. Again, from Inside the Actors Studio:
Get into the moment and then see where it takes you. It can be exciting.--Jessica Lange
Finally, Bernadette said to make
choices and show more of ourselves. And why not, each of us is unique and has great value. We are each a child of the universe...no less than...the stars. Desiderata. From Inside the Actors Studio:
To get there I open my soul to vibrate with higher forces.--Gwyneth Paltrow
The actor has to go deep within himself to make a gift of his pain or whatever to the audience. Go into yourself and reveal it.--
Gabriel Byrne
You already exist. The character only exists on paper. To bring the character to life you must bring your own passion and truth.
