The Actor Speaks: Twenty-Four Actors Talk about Process and Technique

This is a remarkable collection in which some of the best actors in the field candidly discuss how they do what they do. The variety of approaches is fascinating in itself-- but what makes the book so much fun to read is the striking passion and imagination which each artist brings to communicating his or her creative process. Each expresses humility in the face of this ancient craft while doing his best to articulate its magic. If you're an actor, a lover of theatre, or someone interested in the beauty and mystery of the creative process, do yourself a favor and read some of these interviews.
