The whole film genre is one of deceit. It is the suspension of disbelief. That's what all theater and all film is based on.

Rhys Ifans

When it comes to acting, people talk about the suspension of disbelief that you ask of the audience. Before that starts, you have to, as an actor, suspend your own disbelief.

Helena Bonham Carter

I want to regard my public as infinitely intelligent, as understanding notions of the suspension of disbelief and as realising all the time that this is not a slice of life, this is openly a film.

Peter Greenaway

Film's a director's medium. Stage an actor's medium.

Leslie Jordan
