Arthur Lowe

Acting must be scaled down for the screen. A drawing room is a lot smaller than a theatre auditorium.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

I don't think I was a good model. I think I was born to emote and act. I would walk down the ramp and smile and they used to say, 'Give us a blank look.' It was really difficult not to smile.

I want to do just, like, regular art. Whatever is made today on canvas goes up against all of art history. It's the most radical thing.
