The Actor and the Space Quotes

“Acting is not transforming into another person. This is, of course, impossible. Irina cannot actually become Lady Macbeth. But what the actor can do is to swap spaces with her character. Irina temporarily steps out of the space of her everyday life and steps into the space of Lady Macbeth. That is the nearest to transforming into the character that Irina will ever get.”
― Declan Donnellan, The Actor and the Space
