Carla Susan Lewis

Quotes

Carla Susan Lewis

  • I use a lot of very specific imagery, imagination, and body work as well as fictional projections to enrich the history of the character and relationships - kind of like a more visceral biography.
  • There is always a thread between myself and what is on the page that gets triggered, sometimes subconsciously and that connection, when it is true radiates to the audience. We become one. I feel them breathe.
  • I see humans as beautiful violins and our instrument gets played by the text.
  • Acting is ageless. It mirrors life. So, there is no giving up. It is like breathing.
  • I adore storytelling and the opportunity to "live the life" of a character as we find them within ourselves.
  • I have loved transitioning from theater to on-camera work as the camera sees so much more than the naked eye that it forces the work to a standard of truth that is beautiful and revelatory.
  • Little did I know until a few decades later that really fine acting comes from freedom of the body, the soul, the heart, and though analytic to a degree, it is the stripping down of the mind and living truthfully moment-to-moment under imaginary circumstances that audiences are moved by
  • WE are our instruments - the keys to the piano, the strings to the violin. All we have are ourselves. Personal development serves us well on our journey as artists. There are no shortcuts.
