That's certainly a lot of what I do as an actor. The words mean what I want them to mean. Or rather, what my director tells me they want them to mean. Whatever tells the story they want to tell.

It helps that I tend to work with classic texts, written with a minimum of commentary from the writer. Writers today tend to add a lot of extra stuff to their scripts telling me that they want the words to mean, and controlling every motion as if I were a puppet. Personally, I find that less interesting.
