My favorite passage in A Practical Handbook for the Actor is one where the authors discuss emotion. They state that actors shouldn't come onstage into a scene with a set emotion-- emotion should come from the physical actions that happen onstage. For example, an actor shouldn't come out decided that he or she will be mad at something the other character says or does, he or she should actually react to what the other character says, in the moment. Emotion comes out the best when it is real.
