First of all, the actor needs to get out of the character's way. You follow the character without judgment or prejudice or preconceived ideas.

Actors are not always the best judges. We have a peculiar idea of what we think we are, and sometimes it's best left to others to decide what we play.

In every character you play, as much as you hate to admit it as an actor, but there's an element of you that you bring to it.

Sometimes you need to put your own characteristics into the actor, and you take different things from the character that you admire - sometimes you can't see the boundaries anymore.

It's difficult to judge other actors, because as an actor you're looking at different things than what an audience is looking at.

I feel like my responsibility as an actor is to make characters as compelling and believable as possible.

When an actor decides to play a character, he must exude some sort of charisma and look relatable, even if he is playing the role of a really unattractive person.

I think, for every actor, the most challenging part of playing a character, specially a real-life character, is to convince yourself that you are the character.

I've always slightly envied other actors I know who have different reputations. I think, 'God, you don't get people coming up to you, going, 'Hey!' - because they're scared of you.'
