Good acting is about reacting, not tryingto express something, but reacting to a situation as the character.I don't like acting acting.

Acting is about listening and reacting. John Wayne was right: Acting is just reacting. You don't have to do much - as long as you stay out of the way of others. That's why it works.

Anthony Hopkins

We learned out craft. Acting is a craft and you must learn it. I see a lot of talent today in the kids but they don't know how to work. They don't know the craft of acting and you can only get that on the stage in theater. You cannot learn how to act in movies or in television.

Jack Klugman

The key to acting is less acting and just reacting.

Ken Marino

I think it's critical in any character you play that it really is about reacting instead of acting. You can always tell when a person is acting.

I'm a geeky actor, in the way that I like the craft of acting. I trained as a stage actor and was given a lot of technical tools to play with. I like the craft of acting. It sounds geeky when I say it, but it's true.

Alan Tudyk

Movie actors earn their living and learn their craft through listening and reacting.

Some actors get by with behaving, not acting. You've got to sell the effect. I act more in the 'Nightmare' movies because it's not like me. I'm acting, not reacting.

I don't approach my acting as just saying a few lines and then going off-screen. It's a craft. I really invest in trying to make it a craft.

Acting is nothing but reacting, so if your co-stars react in a particular way, it does affect your acting as well.

Acting is reacting... there's a magic when you're working with another actor. With voice acting, you're doing it alone, all in your head. So, you have to re-create that essence by yourself. It's not necessarily more difficult. It's just a different set of skills.

Josh Keaton

I think acting for sure takes a lot of dedication, especially when you're starting out, because it's so much rejection and it's so important to really study and know your craft.

Bitsie Tulloch

The great difference between screen acting and theatre acting is that screen acting is about reacting - 75% of the time, great screen actors are great reactors.

Nicolas Roeg

That's what acting is. You're not alone. It's reacting. That's what we do.

Melissa Leo

I understand in the context of acting, it allows me to manifest character, but I am no wiser then the next person that is living up a life, that is acting and reacting to the built-up circumstances around them.

Peter Scolari

Read and write with a sensitive ear. The craft of writing is very important. Practice the craft.
