About this Quote

This quote by Sarah Bernhardt talks to the significance of feeling in acting. She suggests that a star needs to have the ability to feel strong emotions, such as anger, in order to succeed. This is because strong feelings are required to bring a character to life on stage. Without the capability to feel strong emotions, an actor will not have the ability to represent the character in a believable method. Moreover, Bernhardt suggests that an actor should be able to live in every sense of the word. This implies that an actor should be able to totally immerse themselves in the character and the story in order to bring it to life. Without this ability, an actor will not be able to effectively represent the character and the story. For that reason, Bernhardt recommends that an actor needs to be able to feel strong emotions and reside in every sense of the word in order to be a good actor.
