Acting must be scaled down for the screen. A drawing room is a lot smaller than a theatre auditorium.

I've learnt that there's acting for film, acting for theatre, and acting for an audition.

I like the ephemeral thing about theatre, every performance is like a ghost - it's there and then it's gone.

The theatre fulfills, whereas the cinema is empty.

An actor is an actor is an actor. The less personality an actor has off stage the better. A blank canvas on which to draw the characters he plays.

I've had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting.
