Quotes by Scott Cohen
Once you become a producer, you’re really selling something. It is a control issue, because you don’t really know how it’s going to pan out, but the creative control makes it work it.
If you are lucky as an actor, you are doing a character that really matches where you are in life, or you’re doing a character that is not where you are. If it’s somewhere in between, you have to use a lot of imagination and a lot of thought.
As an actor, you’re never really in control of the product. I think the goal is to create what you want. And if you can get as close as you can get to the creation of something, it starts with development.
My feeling is that in the purest form, an actor is a service to the people. It’s democratic in its purest form. That’s what an actor is. If he or she isn’t that, then there is no purpose in doing it. They’re like priests.
When I take a role I wonder how I can use it to find out who I really am. I don’t think I’m so rare a person.
To me good storytelling is about journeys. It’s about people’s journeys, people’s discoveries and how they deal with those discoveries; circumstances that put people in different situations.
I believe in struggle. And I believe that the struggle is beautiful. You have to try it or you will never know what’s beyond it.
