Actors are all narcissists.

This may sound a little harsh, but I don't care about my career. Really, I don't like actors who are always planning what they're going to do next or always worrying about doing something that will go against the image they've created. To me, that's almost like an attack of narcissism.

The thing about being an actor is that you turn into other people. You have to hide yourself a bit in order to let that other person come out.

Acting is usually regarded as a wholly narcissistic pursuit but there really is a hunger in me to unravel the human condition.

The problem with being an actor is that you have to be reactive to what other people want.

Actors are an insecure breed. It's hard to have your career depend upon other people's opinions of what you do.

As an actor, I always feel you basically have to be able to delude yourself.

As an actor, you never try to be someone else. You can't.

One of the fun things about being an actor is stepping outside yourself and outside of your own experience. It's challenging yourself to totally commit to something that in your core is so wrong.
