I don't want to be alone; the thing I love about acting is the other people you're doing it with.

Unfortunately, when you're an actor you have to act. It's not like you can sit in your living room, your bedroom, your study or whatever and act with yourself. It requires having somebody to respond to.

It's important to say that actors can't act alone, it's impossible. What we have to do is support each other.

There is a need for aloneness, which I don't think most people realise for an actor. It's almost having certain kinds of secrets for yourself that you'll let the whole world in on only for a moment, when you're acting. But everybody is always tugging at you. They'd all like sort of a chunk of you.

That's one of the things that's great about acting. You can play all the different aspects of a human being.

I couldn't care less about actors' trailers and food on sets and stuff like that - I just want to act.

I've worked with some actors who can't act.

The secret to acting is don't act. Be you, with add-ons.

I think of myself as only being an actress when I'm acting, but my friends will say I act all the time.

Why do you act? You act for an audience. In the theatre, you're in their presence. Film stars don't know what it is to have an audience.
