Acting is a hard profession, so it’s helpful to have someone to lean on when the going gets tough. So even if you don’t know any professional actors to guide you, Mike Kimmel has gathered many of their quotes for inspiration. This unique book shares the best of the best on acting and life.
The topics covered are too numerous to list, but include autions, audiences, creativity, criticism, fear, hard work, individuality, optimism, and pessimism. Actors like Steve Martin, Leonard Nimoy, Sean Connery, Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, and Fred Astaire as well as many others offer their gems of wisdom.
A few of these quotes are:
To be good, you need to believe in what you’re doing. ~ Billy Crystal
Never treat your audience as customers, always as partners. ~ James Stewart
If you let your head get too big, it’ll break your neck. – Elvis Presley
The first star of a motion picture should be its story. ~ Cecil B. DeMille
This book is the perfect addition to any actor’s bookshelf, which will always be there when facing a big audition or a huge letdown. I highly recommend it.
