"The basic essential of a great actor is that he loves himself in acting"
- Jessamyn West
About this Quote
This quote by Jessamyn West talks to the value of self-love in the craft of acting. To be a fantastic actor, one need to have a deep gratitude for their own skill and capabilities. This gratitude must be so strong that it equates into a love for the craft of acting itself. Without this self-love, a star might struggle to completely dedicate to their craft and may not have the ability to reach their full potential. Self-love is essential for an actor to be able to take threats, to be susceptible, and to be able to completely express themselves through their craft. It is just through this self-love that a star can truly end up being fantastic.
