Quote by Robert Mitchum
This is not a tough job. You read a script. If you like the part and the money is O.K., you do it. Then you remember your lines. You show up on time. You do what the director tells you to do. When you finish, you rest and then go on to the next part. That's it.
Summary
This quote illustrates a simplified perspective on the process of being an actor. It suggests that acting is not a daunting task, but rather a straightforward job involving following a script, enjoying the role and compensation, memorizing lines, obeying the director's instructions, resting after completing a project, and then moving on to the next one. It negates the notion of acting as overly complex or challenging, emphasizing a minimalist and practical approach to the profession.
