Author of quotes: Philip Gerard

The excitement of the actor from the upcoming contact with the audience. I compare our profession with the profession of a bullfighter, forced each time to mobilize all my strength not to be struck by a bull. In our profession you need to avoid the wrath of the audience.

People often ask me if I feel complete fusion with the character? Honestly, almost never. I think that such a merge actor is not at all under force. Always have control. You first have to create an image in the imagination, then, so to speak, to clothe it in flesh, but under obligatory control. This does not help, nor props nor scenery. They are given in the help viewer. In my opinion, the actor's image is like a copy of your inner world that you want to capture.
