Quote by Robert Carlyle
Acting is probably the greatest therapy in the world. You can get a lot stuff out of you on the set so you don't have to take it home with you at night. It's the stuff between the lines, the empty space between those lines which is interesting.
Summary
This quote highlights the therapeutic nature of acting. By immersing oneself in a character and portraying their emotions on set, actors can release pent-up feelings and emotions, preventing them from carrying it with them off the set. It emphasizes that it is not just the dialogues but also the unspoken emotions and the pauses between the lines that make acting compelling. In this sense, acting serves as a powerful form of catharsis and a means of emotional release for actors.
