I do believe all actors are smart.
Artists speak the truth to the public without fear of retribution or damage to their careers.
I don't even like to use the word relationship. I don't know what it means.
Nothing gets a bigger laugh than when you refer to things like ethics or human rights.
Acting is not about knowing all this stuff; it's about character.
But some actors I have met possess an intelligence that I can only dream of. It's about character, it's about behavior. They understand things about people that I simply don't see.
