I learned much more about acting from philosophy courses, psychology courses, history and anthropology than I ever learned in acting class.

So anyway, I've learned a lot about myself just in terms of acting but just work ethic and interesting things like full-page monologues or talking straight into camera, which I had never gotten to do before.

You can be in an acting class all you want, but you don't fully learn until you get off that stage and in front of a camera.

I never took an acting class, so I've made all my mistakes on film.

To be honest, I never went to school for acting, and I never learned to break down a script. I took acting classes my whole life, but they never taught me anything about acting. They just taught me about myself.

I think my advice to other actors would be to get in classes. Get out in front of people. Put up scenes in front of your peers.

I had no real experience studying acting; I came to it having done other things for a living for many, many years, and I have this gigantic respect for experience and technique.

I always treat all the jobs I do as an acting class.

I never took acting classes, but I knew I could do it based on the skill with which I lied to my parents on a regular basis!
