Quote by Julia Roberts

Summary

This quote speaks to the distinction between acting and drawing upon personal experiences. The speaker suggests that when actors perform with their clothes on, they are engaging in the art of acting and creating a character. However, when actors perform nude, it becomes less of a performance and more of a reflection of their own personal life or body. The quote implies that nudity in films can potentially blur the lines between fiction and reality, transforming a movie scene into something akin to a documentary capturing an actor's genuine state rather than a crafted performance.
