Acting isn't necessarily pretending. It's storytelling. It's giving someone your perspective on something.

My approach to acting is the 'let's pretend' school of acting.

I think acting is a work of imagination.

I think that different actors go about their preparation differently, but when it comes to acting, I use my imagination.

Everything, I think, about acting is based on imagination.

On some level, acting is the art of pretend, and you have to have a highly cultivated sense of imagination. You have to be able to see things that aren't there, no matter what aspect of acting, whether it's green screen, whether it's on stage, whether it's anything else, whether you're working on the radio.

That's one of the great things about acting - you get to pretend you're somebody else, which is great if you get bored with yourself.

How do I act so well? What I do is I pretend to be the person I'm portraying in the film or play.

I don't think movies or television have any basis in reality at all. It's all just pretend. That's what's fun about it.
