Quote by John Hawkes
As an actor you have to have a strong vivid imagination as you're working and when the camera's rolling, but there's certainly a part of you that is aware of real life, that you're making a movie.
Summary
This quote suggests that while acting requires a vivid imagination and immersion into the character's world, there is still an awareness of the distinction between fiction and reality. Despite being completely invested in their role, actors maintain a sense of their actual surroundings and the fact that they are making a movie or performing on a stage. This implies that a balance between imagination and practicality is necessary for actors to effectively channel their creativity while also grounding themselves in the real world.
