"I think acting is about forgetting yourself in order to give the best of yourself. It's passing through you more than you're creating it. You're not the flower, but the vase which holds the flower"

About this Quote

In this quote, starlet Juliette Binoche assesses the essence of acting. She thinks that the secret to providing a piece de resistance is to let go of one's own identity and completely embody the character. Acting is not about showcasing oneself, however rather allowing the character to stream through and take over. Binoche compares the star to a vase, a vessel that holds the flower (the character) and permits it to shine. This point of view highlights the importance of altruism and surrender in the art of acting. It is not about the actor, however about the character and the story being informed.
