Stage And Screen

“The joy of film is that your choices can be so specific. The camera can record the exact word or hand movement or eye movement you intend. A 150mm lens can make your eyes eighty feet wide. The moment you choose to blink or when you choose to inhale or exhale is what you’re saying in the scene. Let’s say the shot is of three of the fingers of your hand, and one is tense. It can be that specific in film. It’s just fantastic. You choose exactly what you want to show because it’s that tight. It’s so glorious. When you act on stage you don’t get to do all these beautiful, specific, tiny little things that film enables you to do. On the other hand, I love to be onstage because there’s no one between me and the audience. Nobody’s going to step in and interpret me or edit me.”

Kathleen Turner, The Actor Speaks, edited by Janet Sonenberg
