Balance Actors Not Happy

More From Jack Nicholson

So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.

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.

My position is that the rate should align with the level of economic development. because it is always about a balance, a balance of interests, and it should reflect this balance. a balance between those who sell something across the border and those who benefit from a low rate, as well as a balance between the interests of those who buy, who need the rate to be higher. a balance between national producers, for example, agricultural producers who are interested in it.
Balance Example Borders
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.

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.

If you look at that incredible burst of fantastic characters that emerged in the late 19th century/early 20th century, you can see so many of the fears and hopes of those times embedded in those characters. even in throwaway bits of contemporary culture you can often find some penetrating insights into the real world around us.

People love to talk about how the '70s are the only time they made movies about characters, and adult movies, and complicated people. but in the '80s, they got away with some of those too.

I think that is so interesting. it is le carré. there must be so much of him when he was younger. he's an interesting character. i don't want to say the word "passive" because there is something very active about the way he is passive, if that makes any sense: the nature of his watching and his listening is active. it is always so alive because he is, essentially, a spy.
