Drama

"The word 'drama' comes to us from the Greek, meaning 'to do' or 'to perform.' In a drama, characters struggle to overcome some obstacle. The higher their obstacle, the better it is for the audience, since struggle is inherently interesting to watch. Every human being can identify with it because we all experience struggle as a part of life. In fact where there's no struggle, there is no life."

- William Esper, The Actor's Art and Craft -

Work hard. Be hungry.

"I would rather work with people that are really talented that haven't made it yet and give em a shot because I know that they're going to work really hard and they're usually hungry."

- Gavin O'Connor, director of Warrior -

An actor.

In the past all a King had to do was look respectable in uniform and not fall off his horse. Now we must invade people's homes and ingratiate ourselves with them. This family is reduced to those lowest, basest of all creatures, we've become actors!
