It’s important to say that actors can’t act alone, it’s impossible. What we have to do is support each other.
Meaning of the quote
Actors can't do their job all by themselves. They need help from other people, like directors, producers, and other actors, to make their performances great. It's impossible for an actor to make a good movie or play on their own. The best way for actors to be successful is to work together and support each other.
