I'm sure acting is a deeply neurotic thing to do.

Acting is such a personal thing, which is weird because at the same time it's not. It's for the consumption of other people. But in terms of creative outlets and expressing yourself, it's just the most extreme version of that that I've ever found. It's like running, it's exertion.

Acting is nothing more or less than playing. The idea is to humanize life.

Acting is way of making yourself exist.

I think acting is something that is within you. It's a very natural thing for me. It comes from myself, really.

I went through this realization that acting, at its heart, is the ability to manipulate your own emotions.

Acting is not an intellectual process for me. It comes from my heart. It's this strange netherworld of osmosis where I simply become.

Acting is all about truth and honesty, and the sensitivity that's capable of transporting you.

Acting is the most personal of our crafts. The make-up of a human being - his physical, mental and emotional habits - influence his acting to a much greater extent than commonly recognized.

Acting is the business of truth, so that we can see ourselves reflected back and learn.
