An actor is never so great as when he reminds you of an animal - falling like a cat, lying like a dog, moving like a fox.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sometimes I think being an actor is like being a dog for a director; it's like they throw a stick, and you want to fetch it and bring it back to them. You want a pat on the head for it.
Animals are the best actors. They never lie, they're always present, and they listen. That's a lot more than a lot of actors can say for themselves.
Working with animals is always going to be tough because the animal doesn't know it's an actor.
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.
There has got to be more to life than being a really, really, ridiculously good actor.
The worst thing for an actor is a director that gets on your nerves and says things that actually confuse you.
A good actor is somebody who can be truthful and fascinating and interesting and enlightening.
I think as an actor, you're constantly putting yourself out there, and a lot of times failing - and failing in front of a bunch of people - and sometimes you have a good moment and something clicks.
To be a great actor you just need to comprehend, so that's why I became a writer.
An actor is like a piece of clay: you just keep moulding me. Even people who work with you every day want to put you in a little box.
