"Fiona Shaw Quotes." ~ June 18th, 2009

- Acting doesn’t have to be threadbare misery all the time.
- People who are good at film have a relationship with the camera.
- So I just play the character, I play the lines.
- The energy released by it is enormous and it becomes quite addictive, the power between the audience and the actor.
- Theater is dangerously open to repetition. It’s exciting when you hit on a new way.
Spoken by Madame Arkadina in the General category with the tag(s) actors, Fiona Shaw, lists.
