You can say to actors that you've got to be the character and really get into it, but you have to make it realistic by bringing an element of yourself into it.

If you're lucky, and not a lot of actors are these days, you get the chance to create a character.

There are casting directors with lots of imagination, but also some with not as much imagination.

The beautiful thing about acting is that you can just dive into the character, strip yourself of everything, and just get in there and perfect your craft.

I don't aspire to direct like many actors. I would aspire most likely to do some writing, but I haven't had a chance to do that.

As an actor, you can do what you want with your role. That's why they hire you; to take the role and make it real.

I think my advice to other actors would be to get in classes. Get out in front of people. Put up scenes in front of your peers.

As an actor I think sometimes producers need a little bit of encouragement to see you in a particular role, they may not have as much imagination as you would expect.

I really want to have actors contribute their own ideas, with phrasings and ideas on all levels.

My tips for any budding actors would be to go out and see as much as you possibly can. Find the people you want to work with and be ready to hopefully make them want to work with you.
