Max von Sydow's Advice to Actors

There are so many great performances in his filmography.  My three favorite in The Exorcist, Three Days of the Condor and Hannah and her Sisters.

Q. You’ve been acting for six decades now. Does all that accumulated experience make things harder or easier?

A. "It depends on what it’s all about. In the beginning I was looking all the time to do something different. Different was very important. Now I think simplicity is what’s most important. Just communicate with great simplicity."

 

I believe it is worth repeating. 60 years of experience boil down to one brilliantly simple piece of advice: Just communicate with great simplicity.
