"In bed at night, I could be reading some book, and I'll come across a sentence that's totally unrelated to some scene I did years ago. But I'll play the scene back in my mind and think, I did that wrong - I should've opened the door more slowly"

- Liam Neeson

About this Quote

This quote by Liam Neeson highlights the constant self-reflection and self-criticism that stars go through in their craft. Neeson describes how even in the quiet moments of reading a book in bed, his mind can wander back to a scene he carried out years back. He replays the scene in his mind and understands that he might have done it differently, maybe much better. This shows the commitment and perfectionism that actors have, always striving to enhance and ideal their efficiencies. It likewise talks to the power of memory and how even small details can stick to us for several years. Neeson's words give insight into the inner functions of a star's mind and the consistent pursuit of quality in their art.
