I don’t think you learn how to act. You learn how to use your emotions and feelings.
Meaning of the quote
Acting isn't about memorizing lines or following scripts. It's about using your own emotions and feelings to bring a character to life. You don't learn how to act, you learn how to tap into your own experiences and express them through the characters you play. This is what makes great actors so captivating - they don't just recite words, they use their inner selves to create something truly powerful and authentic.
