If they don't think, people act senselessly.

One of the basic causes for all the trouble in the world today is that people talk too much and think too little. They act impulsively without thinking.

I think most people act in their self-interest.

You can act, or you can't. I'm sure a lot of people who are serious about acting would disagree, but I'm not really worried about them.

One of the reasons why so few of us ever act, instead of react, is because we are continually stifling our deepest impulses.

In order to act, you must be somewhat insane. A reasonably sensible man is satisfied with thinking.

You bring out a lot of your own thoughts and attitudes when acting. I think a great deal of it has to do with the inner you.

People who say they don't care what people think are usually desperate to have people think they don't care what people think.

When I'm watching somebody act, it's a behavior editorial function - I look at someone act, and I might say, 'I don't believe him when he says that.' I don't know why I don't believe him, probably because the people that I've met, they don't act like that when they say stuff like that and mean it.

I think people, whether they realize they're doing it or not, seek out distractions to take their minds off what they know is bad behavior.
