The tongue may hide the truth but the eyes—never!
The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said.
Good actors are always looking for props. They're looking for behavior. It makes it a lot easier. You're not solely dependent of what's coming out of your mouth. You're also less self-conscious, less aware of the camera.
Attila was a man born to shake the races of the world. The proud man’s power has to be seen in the very movements of his body.
As an actor, I feel one should use his look to trick people.
I watched season four of 'The Wire.' They have subtle performances that they do through their eyes. You could watch season four with the audio off and still understand what's happening through their eyes.
One of my favorite actors is Paul Newman. He could tell so much with a single look, whereas some actors would need an entire five page monologue to give off the feeling of what he could say with just a single look.
The meaning and purpose of dancing is the dance. Like music also, it is fulfilled in each moment of its course. You do not play a sonata in order to reach the final chord, and if the meaning of things were simply in ends, composers would write nothing but finales.
While dancing you have to be feminine, and performing action requires you to be masculine.
He must have smiled at me, though I don't really know, but I don't like to think that I would love someone who hadn't first smiled at me.
Insight into character comes from listening intently to the spoken word. The physical person, their charisma, charm and dramatic flair is more often used to persuade audiences, as they use these stealth tools of disguise and deception.
Acting is very physical, even when it doesn't appear to be. It's about the arc of your body's language through a film.
A firm, hearty handshake gives a good first impression, and you'll never be forgiven if you don't live up to it.
It's really the tone that people use to convey things sometimes that can either become a compliment or an insult. It's not always what you are saying, it's about how you say it.
Your words will tell others what you think. Your actions will tell them what you believe.
Liars do look you in the eye. They do not always stutter, stammer, blush or fidget.
Francia don’t look too convinced. I never seen arms so crossed.
I think the best time to approach a woman is actually after her workout. When you're working out, you're playing your jam, you're in the groove, and you don't want to be interrupted. So guys, wait until she's done getting her sweat on.
Most men would love to be stared at by women. Don't doubt me on this. And my guess is that most women are actually intrigued by it and have developed techniques and skills for dealing with it. Don't doubt me.
When it comes to meeting and attracting women, many men are resigned and complacent. We figure some guys were born with that particular power and other guys weren't. I wasn't.
Part of the punk attitude was that you should project your music through your whole body... show your personality as much as possible.
What I really like doing is storytelling, finding the body language that is necessary for the story. And when I'm doing it and it's working, I'm thrilled.
We have only two sources of information about the character of the people around us: we judge them by what they do and by what they say (particularly the first).
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.
Let me make something clear: I can't do anything in particular to make others laugh. I do what is necessary for a character. The body language of the character may make others laugh.
