Acting is actually private.

The whole thing about acting, the draw for me, is the opportunity to do things you don't get to do in real life.

My job as an actor is for you, so why should my private life be for you, too? That's not fair.

That's what acting is - it's about... having the courage to allow your audience into the private moments of your characters' lives.

What's nice about acting is that you're not just left with yourself all the time, but you get to see the world through so many different people's eyes.

Whatever it is, if you draw, you paint, you're a carpenter, you play football, the more you do it, you're a journalist, the more stories you write, the more people you interview and navigate your way through these different personalities to get your story, the better you're going to get at it. Acting's no different.

I guess I prefer to be quite private. It's a myth that actors are exhibitionists.

What the actor is in private life, he is to a large extent on the stage, because he cannot conceal himself and his true personality from his audience.

Acting is pretty much my whole life.
