Actors sure have stories. We always have stories. At the end of our careers, all we have to take with us is our stories, and we have many of them.

Because technically actors are just public servants really. They just tell stories because people need to be told stories. That's all it is. And yet we get treated as though we're important.

I think at a certain point actors need to start taking responsibility for the kinds of stories they want to tell.

As an actor, you always want to feel like what you're doing is making a difference to the story.

I'm a director's actor; I'm a storyteller's actor.

When actors are the real deal, all that star whatever goes right out the window and you're there to tell a story.

I think that's why I'm an actor: so I can tell those stories without having to really live through those stories with real consequences and real stakes, real responsibility.

I'm telling the same story in every film.

Being an actor is an extension of telling a story and I loved story telling as a child.

As an actor, we always want people to write about us and talk about us. And when they are actually writing, then we say, 'Don't write about this.' I am an actor; I am a public property. I don't own myself; public owns me.
