Laurence Olivier Acting Quotations

Acting, is not a profession for adults.

Acting is an everlasting search for truth.

I am far from sure when I am acting and when I am not or, should I more frankly put it, when I am lying and when I am not. For what is acting but lying and what is good acting but convincing lying?

What is acting but lying and what is good lying but convincing lying?

Without acting, I cannot breathe.

Acting is illusion, as much illusion as magic is, and not so much a matter of being real.

Acting is a masochistic form of exhibitionism. It is not quite the occupation of an adult.
