The least acting you ever have to do is in a close-up. The close-up may require an actor's reaction, but a small, subtle one. Generally speaking, the less you 'act' in a close-up, the better.” – Sir John Gielgud\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eConnecting\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Acting, especially in motion pictures, is very hierarchical, like a caste system. The stars are royalty, the other actors are serfs-okay, commoners... If you're not a big shot, you gotta be careful not to push or intrude. You gotta watch what you say, how you say it, and, especially, when you say it.” – Bruce Dern\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWorking\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Acting in front of a camera or a live audience requires intense concentration, to shut out the real world and create the character's reality.

But doesn't one evolve with maturity? My focus ultimately changed from negative to positive, as I found that I enjoyed the work, even the struggle, for its own sake.” – Michael Landon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBoze Hadleigh\u003c\/b\u003e (Los Angeles, CA) has published 18 books, including \u003ci\u003eHollywood Babylon\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMexico's Most Wanted\u003c\/i\u003e.
