Quote

No actor can be a complete artist without trying his/her hand at comic roles.

As an actor, you never know where the work's going to come, so you have to be flexible about it.

He who is incapable of feeling strong passions, of being shaken by anger, of living in every sense of the word, will never be a good actor.

The life of an actor can be very enviable.

The hardest thing as an actor is that you work really hard constantly for these roles, and you invest so much in it. And when they don't come to fruition and nobody sees them, there's a part of you that dies a little bit. It's like, 'Ah! But I worked so hard!' But that's the business.

You have to have wonderful actors for material, particularly difficult material that requires complicated performances.

The actor cannot afford to look only to his own life for all his material nor pull strictly from his own experience to find his acting choices and feelings.

Every writer is a frustrated actor who recites his lines in the hidden auditorium of his skull.

I think that it's important that actors keep getting challenged every day. For every creative person, it's a terrible moment when they say they have done all they want to do.
