I think as an actor you're lucky to have any film take on a life of its own long after it's left the theater.

Film actors reach a certain level, but they don't get beyond it unless they work in the theater.

I can do a film only if it excites me as an actor.

Every film for every actor is a make-or-break film. I believe every film has the power to break you or make you. So, an actor will treat every film like his last film. That's the way we need to work, and that's the way you can drum up that passion needed to do good work.

You work really hard to make it, and maybe you get some acclaim, but then you realize there are certain limitations as an actor.

There are a lot of people out there who offer roles to actors because they'll elevate their movie to a place the movie would never reach.

It's easier to go from theatre to film than the other way round. In film you're absolutely loved and cossetted and cared for. In film your director makes your performance. In theatre you're carrying it all.

Making films is no longer a way of acting, it is a way of life.

I'm not expecting much work in Hollywood, to be honest. People stick to film because they tend to get offered the same roles over and over again, and it's safe. But I'm not interested in doing that.

I think anytime you can do something you haven't seen or done in a film before, it's always a great day as an actor.
