Ray Bradbury Quotes

There is as much expression in the feet as in the hands.

I like my hands. They do most of the talking.

The things one can express with the hand, with the head, with the shoulders!... How many useless and encumbering words then disappear! What economy!

The gesture is the thing truly expressive of the individual - as we think so will we act.

I talk with my hands. Some people don't like that. That's who I am.

The voice is a second face.

Gestures matter.

I think you can actually express a lot more in ways without words.

Body language is more fascinating to me than actual language.

There's many ways you communicate. With colour, texture, sound... Even words can communicate.

There's this little recipe that you have to hit pretty well to get somebody to laugh. And it's a combination of the way in which you say something, with the facial expression that you have, married with the body language that you have, etc.

When you act, your whole body is the instrument.

I literally can't talk without moving hands.

The body is a universal language. Because if you spoke French, and I speak English, but I move like this or do certain movements, I can still make you smile and laugh.

I use my hands a lot while acting.
