The following words were spoken by Laurence Olivier when addressing drama
students at the opening of the Old Vic School, and apply to all students
as they enter onto the
stage...
"The growth of your career should be like that
of a tree, a simple, steady, all-round growth. You are about, I hope,
to sink your roots deep into the fertile ground of this institution [JOLLYWOOD],
in order to assure yourselves of as strong a stem as possible, so that
however gloriously your branches may flourish they shall not want for
resourcefulness and poise. There is plenty of wind, torrents of rain and
no end of thunder about, so don't get too tall too quickly. There is no
more invidious state in a career than that in which one finds one's reputation
outgrowing one's experience, all I ask, as an audience, is to believe
what I see and hear: An actor, above all, must be the great understander,
either by intuition, observation or both, and that puts him on the level
with a doctor, a priest or a philosopher. If I can get more from him than
just belief, then I feel both fortunate and overjoyed. There are many
dimensions in the art of acting, but NONE of them are good or interesting…
unless they are invested with the appearance, or complete illusion of
truth. The difference between the actual truth and the illusion of truth
is what you are about to learn. You will not finish learning it until
you are dead."
