I don't ever blink, honestly.

For me, the most important thing I learned was just honing my eye. I think I had a good eye.

Blinking is some way of tabulating - a kind of carriage return, click, or save to disk - that helps the process of 'Okay, now change the subject.' Every time you move your eyes, there's an interruption in the visual field - you go momentarily blind when your eyeballs are moving.

I now hate actors that blink too much on screen. When people blink, I turn the movie off. So I don't blink at all.

What better way to connect with people than by staring and talking straight at them? Don't blink - that's one less connection you could have made.

I am a person who is trained to look other people in the eye.

I am paid a good amount of money to not blink for 12 hours. It's fun, but I don't take it very seriously.

I don't even know if you can blink in a hundredth of a second, and that's what it comes down to in speed skating.

That is one of the first things my family, my mother and my grandfather, had taught me about acting: 'Use your eyes!' Not being able to do that physical aspect of it, and having to put it all into your voice? That was a little bit of a challenge.
