Famous quotes containing the words actor and/or director:
“... unless the actor is able to discourse most eloquently without opening his lips, he lacks the prime essential of a finished artist.”

“The director is simply the audience. So the terrible burden of the director is to take the place of that yawning vacuum, to be the audience and to select from what happens during the day which movement shall be a disaster and which a gala night. His job is to preside over accidents.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)
