Actors have a magic gene within them - I think they're the finest descendants of rogues and vagabonds - and it's all too easily forgotten what the acting legacy is.

I think all actors are supposed to be character actors.

Actors are actors, and there should be a complete fluidity for anyone to play anything.

The truth is, good actors are always looking to do something different. They are dying to play slightly odder characters or work on movies that aren't straight down the middle.

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

Nobody should expect an actor to have these wonderful ideas and concepts about the world: they pretend to be other people for a living.

All actors tend to be the same messed-up people.

Actors don't get to be well-known if they're horrible.

The actors I admire are character actors.

One of the things that is assumed about actors is that they are extrovert, which is almost never the case, in my experience.
