"Love is the one emotion actors allow themselves to believe"

- James Spader

About this Quote

This quote by James Spader speaks to the concept that love is the only emotion that stars can really allow themselves to feel. This is because acting is an occupation that requires a particular level of detachment from the emotions of the characters they are representing. As an actor, they should have the ability to step into the shoes of the character and feel the emotions that the character is feeling, however they must also be able to get out of the character and not be overwhelmed by the emotions. Love is the one feeling that actors can enable themselves to feel without worry of being overwhelmed by the intensity of the emotion. Love is an effective feeling, however it is likewise one that can be controlled and managed. By permitting themselves to feel love, stars can still be in control of their emotions and not be overwhelmed by the intensity of the emotion.
