I can't tell you about acting. You can develop all the skills, voice, gesture, movement, you can develop by exercise and practice but finally fundamentally it's mining from yourself, from your own personality, from what you know. If you can't know it you can have a good guess by people you know or books you've read.

Andrew Solomon

Tremble and start, at wagging of a straw,
Intending deep suspicion.
William Shakespeare

I've always felt people are looking down on us and expecting us to fail. That's enough of a burden, and we automatically try to act with dignity.
