John Cassavetes Quote
-
There`s a difference between ad-libbing and improvising. And there`s a difference between not knowing what to do and just saying something. Or making choices as an actor. As a writer also, as a person who`s making a film, as a cameraman, everything is a choice. And it seems to me I don`t really have to direct anyone or write down that somebody`s getting drunk; all I have to do is say that there`s a bottle there and put a bottle there and then they`re going to get drunk. I don`t want to tell them how they`re going to get drunk. I don`t want to tell them how they`re going to get drunk, or what they would do, and I don`t want to restrict them in being able to carry out a beat, to fulfill an action. You can`t say somebody`s drunk, or in love.
