"I like it when you read a script and there's the part that you show to the other characters and then there's the part that only the audience knows"
- Anjelica Huston
About this Quote
This quote by Anjelica Huston talks to the power of storytelling. She is recommending that when checking out a script, there are two distinct parts: the part that is shared with the other characters and the part that is only understood to the audience. This speaks with the idea that the audience is privy to details that the characters are not, allowing them to experience the story in a distinct way. This can be used to produce suspense, surprise, and intrigue. It also allows the audience to form a much deeper connection with the characters, as they have the ability to comprehend the inspirations and feelings of the characters in a way that the characters themselves can not. This quote speaks to the power of storytelling and the significance of developing a distinct experience for the audience.
