More From Edward Snowden

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.

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
If you watched a movie about a guy who wanted a volvo and worked for years to get it, you wouldn’t cry at the end when he drove off the lot, testing the windshield wipers. you wouldn’t tell your friends you saw a beautiful movie or go home and put a record on to think about the story you’d seen. the truth is, you wouldn’t remember that movie a week later, except you’d feel robbed and want your money back. nobody cries at the end of a movie about a guy who wants a volvo.
Beautiful Home Thinking
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
It's tough to know who's better in cliff diving. like, you see a guy diving off a cliff and you go, oh, man, a guy diving off a cliff! and then another guy'd dive- oh, there's another guy diving off a cliff there. but you can't tell who's better, y'know? like, uh- if you survive at all, hey, you're a great- you're a great cliff diver there. there's only two classifications in cliffdiving. there's, uh- 'grand champion' and then, uh- 'stuff on a rock.' very hard to make a comeback in that sport, i'll tell you that.

Similar Quotes
I've discovered that like every writer, i'm helpless myself - and that means i find myself unconsciously or semi-consciously repeating motifs and themes and even using certain words or images recurrently in my work, no matter how much i think i'm starting fresh. but i've always admired artists who made a specific sport of trying to visit different kinds of genres or mediums or modes - not just 'western' or 'detective', but comedy/tragedy, epic and miniature, traditional/experimental.
