"Actually, you have to be a little..." - Quote by Audrey Hepburn
Actually, you have to be a little bit in love with your leading man and vice versa. If you're going to portray love, you have to feel it. You can't do it any other way. But you don't carry it beyond the set.

“You spend your life training to be an actor, observing people's characteristics so that you can design characters around what you've seen.”
“We'll all retire from life at some point. The great thing about acting is you don't necessarily have to retire.”
“An actor is supposed to be a sensitive instrument.”

“As we have said, robust souls are sometimes almost, but not entirely, overthrown by strokes of misfortune....Despair has steps leading upward. From total depression we rise to despondency, from despondency to affliction, from affliction to melancholy. Melancholy is a twilight state in which suffering transmutes into a somber joy....Melancholy is the enjoyment of being sad.”
“There are moods in which we court suffering, in the hope that here, at least, we shall find reality, sharp peaks and edges of truth. But it turns out to be scene-painting and counterfeit. The only thing grief has taught me is to know how shallow it is.”
“A sick child is always the mother's property; her own feelings generally make it so.”
