MICHAEL CAINE - ACTING IN FILM

From MICHAEL CAINE - ACTING IN FILM

section THE ART OF SPONTANEITY

"And that's the greatest advice I can give to someone who wants to act in movies. Listen and react."

"Movies actors earn their living and learn their craft through listening and reacting."

"...in the movies the camera has to cut to Frank to get his reactions; otherwise what Rita says has no further meaning. I can't say it enough: one of the most important things an actor can do in a motion picture is to listen and react as freshly as if it were for the first time." pp. 68-72
