Nice quote from the late great Jason Robards...

[brianluce]

"All I know is, I don't do a lot of analysis. I know those words have to move me. I rely on the author. I don't want actors reasoning with me about 'motivation' and all that bull. All I want 'em to do is learn the goddamn lines and don't bump into each other."

Reminds me of a favorite quote of mine about acting from James Cagney:

"Learn your lines, find your mark, look 'em in the eye and tell 'em the truth."

"Have a very good reason for everything you do."

Robards didn't happen to make that remark after his legendarily-stilted performance in Julius Caesar, did he?
