For the actors, the talent is to serve the demands that I ask of them, to do it with naturality and truth, and to be honest when we were terrified.

When I hire actors I believe in their abilities.

You have to have wonderful actors for material, particularly difficult material that requires complicated performances.

Often you get wonderful singers who maybe aren't as strong as actors, or you get wonderful actors who can't sing very well.

There's a tremendous amount to be gained from being a performer, and being an artist, and being an actor.

There's no such thing as talent; you just have to work hard enough.

Being an actor is a much more structured life than being a musician.

I feel like I'm a good actor, but I wouldn't call myself a gifted actor.

I think there are a lot of other actors that are just talented, it's just about this opportunity - it's just about when are we going to be put in those positions where we can shine.
