I guess every character has a little bit of the actor - I guess for every character you play, the actor has to allow a little bit of their own character to show through.

I think that acting involves doing your job so well that you are able to help the viewer identify with the character.

I think it's important that a director be able to know his characters inside and out.

As an actor, you always want to find a piece of who you are in every role you take on.

In my experience, it's usually up to the actor how a character is portrayed.

There's a lot of directors who were actors, so they have the sensibility of an actor, which sometimes helps.

I think all actors are supposed to be character actors.

All actors are looking for that role that's going to define who they are. When it happens, it's a good thing.

Obviously, any time you're closer in terms of what your knowledge is to a character, you can add something. But an actor's job is not to play only people he can identify with.
