The thrill of acting is the discovery part, so it all changes, but it has to change in a way that fits what is written. You can't just wander off and get interested in your own tangent.

Acting has always been very comfortable for me, so it allows me to pay attention to other parts of the process literally while I'm acting.

An emotional performance is usually more instinctive to an actor.

Acting gives me an adrenalin rush I don't get from anything else.

Increasingly I've come to think that what's at the core of acting is thinking. Most people would say it's feeling.

The acting is better when you know your material is being judged.

Really, acting is like anything else. The more time you put in, the more you learn and the more you can give back to the industry.

I've never formally trained in acting, so I'm very instinctual and visceral with decisions.

I always think instinct is more interesting than anything you can think up. I mistrust and am rather bored with actors who are of the Stanislavski school who think about detail.

The thing I adore about acting is that it's not me: you get to experience all these emotions, but essentially it's not you.
