More From Gene Hackman

I think it's very pretty. can it be pretty if no one thinks it's pretty? i think it's pretty. if you're the only one? that's pretty pretty. and what about the boys? don't you want them to think you're pretty? i wouldn't want a boy to think i was pretty unless he was the kind of boy who thought i was pretty.
Boys Thinking Want
I’ve never agreed with the conventional wisdom that ‘actors are great liars.’ if more people understood the acting process, the goals of good actors, the conventional wisdom would be ‘actors are terrible liars,’ because only bad actors lie on the job. the good ones hate fakery and avoid manufactured emotion at all costs. any script is enough of a lie anyway. (what experience does any actor have with flying a spacecraft? killing someone?) what’s called for, what actors are hired for, is to bring reality to the arbitrary.
Jobs Liars Lying
You go ask any founder of any company why he or she did it, you will never hear, "i wanted to create jobs for the community" as the number one, number two, number three, number four, number five, number 10 reason for doing so. that is a result of the success the business enjoys. creating jobs is not why people start businesses. creating jobs is not how people innovate in business. it's not how they compete.
Jobs Two Creating
The actor has to have some degree of craft, along with the talent. no one tries to laugh except bad actors. no one tries to cry except bad actors. how a character hides his feelings tells us who he is. most people don't know that, and most actors don't do that. therefore, there are a lot of actors who put me to sleep, that are considered good actors, but they're predictable and boring. i know how the scene is going to end before it ends.
Character Sleep Laughing
I hear about actors being exterior actors and actors being instinctual actors and i always think it's crap. anybody who knows anything about it knows that good actors do both - they do inside-outward and they do outside-inward. you can't not do both.
Thinking Inward Actors
You work with every actor differently. it's like if you're a mother, if you have children, some children need more discipline. other children you back off of a little bit and let them be. it's the same way with actors. some actors need a lot of hand holding. other actors like to be let be and you let them go. some actors like to be nudged just a little bit. some actors don't mind line readings.
