„Who cares about the character? Just get up and act. You don’t have to explain it to me.“
— Bob Dylan American singer-songwriter, musician, author, and artist 1941
Kontext: It’s not a character like in a book or a movie. He’s not a bus driver. He doesn’t drive a forklift. He’s not a serial killer. It’s me who’s singing that, plain and simple. We shouldn’t confuse singers and performers with actors. Actors will say, “My character this, and my character that.” Like beating a dead horse. Who cares about the character? Just get up and act. You don’t have to explain it to me.
