Actors really should be tramps.

Meaning of the quote

'Actors really should be tramps.' This quote suggests that actors should live like people who don't have a fixed home or job, and instead wander around freely.

Just like tramps who have no set routines, actors should embrace a free-spirited and unconventional lifestyle to become better at their craft.
