He's [constable] A Great Painter As Far As It Goes, But I Don't Think He's Remotely Interesting. Not Really. It's Very Pretty And It's Very Thorough, But It's Not Evocative, It's Not Dramatic, It Doesn't Do What Beethoven Does - It Doesn't Shake You Down To The Roots Of Your Soul, Which Turner Does. Constable Is Just Very Nice, Basically. And Moving On To Personality, Constable Was A Very Dull Character.

Some Deeply Untrusting Actors - The Kind That Need To Know Exactly What's What And Are Completely Insecure - Might Be Quite Good Within The Parameters Of A Certain Sort Of Acting.

My Work Requires Acting At Its Most Committed - It Demands Actors Of Enormous Resilience, But Also Intelligence And Wit. It Doesn't Work For Narcissistic Or Selfish Actors.
