Zitat des Tages über Filmschauspiel / Film Acting:
Rarely in film acting do you get to do a scene for very long.
Film acting is really the trick of doing moments. You rarely do a take that lasts more than 20 seconds. You really earn your spurs acting onstage. I needed to do that for myself. I would hate to say at the end of everything that I never did a stage play.
And film acting is incredibly tedious, just by its nature. It's incredibly, mind numbingly slow.
Absolutely, 'Rabbit Hole' gave me a nice first introduction into film acting.
Film acting is one of the only industries where you're criticized for working hard. In any other industry, it's considered a quality and something to behold.
I'm not trying to take anything away from film acting, because it's also really hard, and I worship the people who are great at it. But to actually have to go out on stage night after night and do it with your audience right there is so wild and scary and exciting and fun and all the things that I remember loving about it.
The difference - the fundamental difference between theater acting and film acting is that film acting is disjunctive.
I've had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting.
I find in film acting that however many years you have done it for, you can feel totally relaxed and at ease with the people around you, absolutely wonderful, then roll camera and a little part of you goes, 'Ugh'. It is learning how to manage that.
The foundation for film acting is stage acting.
You can see all sorts of things in film acting if you know where to look and what to look for. One thing I often notice is that the actor is looking for his mark, the place where he has to stand to be in the right place in the shot.
Television and film acting is really fun because you are working with other people and you are not completely responsible for the outcome of the project.
That's the thing about film acting and television acting. You just release yourself and do what is true for the moment, and ignore everybody and everything and all the technical razzmatazz that goes on.
Here is something no real celebrity will ever tell you: film acting is not very fun. Doing the same thing over and over again until, in the director's eyes, you 'get it right' does not allow for very much creative freedom... In terms of sheer adrenaline, film has absolutely nothing on theater.
Every time I've crossed to a new level of film acting, the film has been a breakthrough project.
The only people who have doubts about the sincerity of my music are people who come to it relatively late, off the back of having seen me in a film. Acting is about being other people, and music is about being myself.
I've learnt that there's acting for film, acting for theatre, and acting for an audition.
