ON ACTING: Listening and Looking

"Acting is listening (and looking). "A personal note: It took me many years to discover I don't listen to or look at anyone unless I want some thing from them.

The lesson for actors: listening and looking skills grow in direct proportion to character goals; want more, you will listen and see better.

I would encourage all actorswho desire to "really" listen and look on stage to seek goals unequivocally and assiduously from the others in a scene.
