When you are dealing with something that's crazy, you still want actors to play characters and find the reality of the situation, no matter how absurd the situation is.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not crazy. I play a lot of crazy characters, but I'm an actor.
To be honest with you, I get a little fed up with actors who act crazy to make themselves more interesting.
Actors are able to trick themselves into treating anything as if it's fantastic. It's a kind of madness really.
What I love most about acting is being able to play different types of personalities without being considered crazy.
I think when actors run away from their work that they're slightly crazy, really!
Acting is a way of living out one's insanity.
A fight scene with a crazy can be quite physical. You don't feel it while you're acting, but each day you go, that hurts.
I'm not one of those actors who gets so taken by a role that I can't live my life. I'm the type of actor who goes to work, transforms into a character, takes you on a journey, and then comes back home to be Billy. When I'm in it, I'm in it, but I know how to get out of it. When you can't shut it off, you're a crazy person. I'm not crazy.
As a comic and as an actor, I think you've got to be partially crazy.
Normal people - i.e., people who aren't actors - are the most bizarre people you can ever come across. I'll talk to someone and come away thinking, 'They are clinically insane.'
