Summary

This quote suggests that real-life romantic relationships can sometimes hinder the ability of actors to convincingly portray lovers on stage or screen. The emotional connection shared by romantic partners may affect their performances, possibly causing the portrayal to lack authenticity. On the other hand, actors who are not romantically involved can still generate genuine emotions between their characters through the empathetic bond they establish during their professional collaboration. This highlights the complex nature of acting, where real-life relationships and empathetic connections can influence the portrayal of emotions on stage or screen.
