Olivia Williams Quotes About School
-
We had an ancient Russian acting coach at my drama school who said the worst offense you could commit was to let your subtext show.

It's funny, when people want things to be very truthful and you're dealing with an inexperienced actor. I'm of the school that believes things like that have to be very carefully choreographed. You need people there to say, "It's going to happen like this."
