Actors today go into TV, which I don't consider has a lot to do with acting.

The thing as an actor is you get a sense of what a show is like the minute you walk on the set.

A person's portrayal on TV isn't always how someone is.

Acting is really about showing up that day and telling the writers what you feel like saying.

I always thought acting was all lights, camera, action. It's a job; you have to do your job correctly.

Acting is acting.

Good acting is about being as natural and calm as possible. These days producers have such definite ideas that you have to be prepared to do whatever they ask.

It is hard to be an actor on a TV show, because you don't know what's coming and you sort of find out very last minute sort of what's happening.

If there is any sense of order to the universe, acting is what I am meant to do. I'm not manufactured. I know acting isn't real, that it's temporary. If there is any theme to the roles I play, it is emotional vulnerability and availability.

Most of the time you spend filming a show is time you spend without the cameras on, when you're not acting.
