Good actors, you always know what they're thinking. That's why they're good actors.

About the best thing an actor can do when all is said and done is to make people laugh.

Whenever any actor comes into a producer session, they have so many questions, and we still can't really tell them that much until they get the job.

I mean, the question actors most often get asked is how they can bear saying the same things over and over again, night after night, but God knows the answer to that is, don't we all anyway; might as well get paid for it.

A lot of actors, we aren't that special; you get a well-written scene, and it's virtually actor-proof.

There is a kind of invisible thread between the actor and the audience, and when it's there it's stunning, and there is nothing to match that.

As an actor, there are so many different people to hide behind.

With some actors, you can tell when they're acting all by themselves, no matter who else is in the screen.

I think you can really tell a good actor if you can put a camera on them and they can just talk and emote and react and you don't have to keep cutting away from them, because they are the language and the behavior. It's all a tour-de-force performance.
