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

Jim Jarmusch

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

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.

Malin Akerman

I'm just a man. I think people are reacting to something else when they see me. They're not reacting to me, Eddie Murphy. They don't even know me. It's just luck and the God in me they're reacting to.

Eddie Murphy

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.

Robert Englund

I'm always an advocate of 'acting is reacting,' which can be difficult.

Maxine Peake

Acting is reacting, and it's always easier to react when someone is doing a good job.

Martin Freeman

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

I've always strived to find those records that people don't know, but they actually go "Wow, what is this?" - and they go crazy to it. To me, that's more rewarding as a DJ, and that's what I always thought a DJ was supposed to do: it's about educating people. Now there seems to be a commercial edge to stuff and people are reacting to stuff they've heard on the radio all day long: to me, that's not what youth culture should be reacting to.

John Digweed

The key to acting is less acting and just reacting.

Ken Marino

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

Paresh Rawal

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

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 like to rehearse with the actors scenes that are not in the script and will not be in the film because what we're really doing is trying to establish their character, and good acting to me is about reacting.

Jim Jarmusch

Reacting is so important to the craft of acting.

John Knoll
