All quotes by Glenne Headly:

To me, a lot of what makes a good actor is not what a teacher tells you to do but how you respond when youre on your own.

Scene study is isolated. I suppose its interesting, but I dont think it really teaches you about a throughline. A throughline is something you feel when you do one scene followed by another followed by another.

I think a lot of good actors - for instance, Gary Sinise - have no training. His training was really entirely on his feet. I suppose you have to have an instinct for it.
