I think good acting is always character acting.

Good acting is about being as natural and calm as possible. These days producers have such definite ideas that you have to be prepared to do whatever they ask.

The main thing in acting is honesty, to feel the humanity and get to the essence of the character. You can't put anything into a character that you haven't got within you.

The beautiful thing about acting is that you can just dive into the character, strip yourself of everything, and just get in there and perfect your craft.

In acting, you have to pull from real-life situations, from people, to help develop a character.

Without wonder and insight, acting is just a trade. With it, it becomes creation.

Acting for me is like a ping-pong game. That's the secret of acting. When you have a really good actor, I always want to be as good as he is or she is.

There's always a sense of newness with acting, because every role, you come to every role fresh.

In all of us, there is a struggle between the good and the bad. It makes it more palpable and real to play such people as an actor.

I've come to this conclusion: What makes a great actor is great need. A huge need of acting.
