The best actors, I think, have a childlike quality. They have a sort of an ability to lose themselves. There's still some silliness.

Actors are the best and the worst of people. They're like kids. When they're good, they're very very good. When they're bad they're very very naughty.

You find with the really great actors, the ones you really admire and look up to, very often they're very giving, generous, warm people.

I do think that good actors can do any part. It doesn't mean that they are the best ones to do it.

Actors are very generous.

It is all about marketing; that is where the real craft comes in. The best actors do not necessarily become the biggest stars. And vice versa.

Some of the best actors think they're terrible; that's what keeps you connected to a vulnerability that makes it possible for people to empathize with you.

I admire a lot of actors; I think a lot of them have so much talent.

But actors at a certain point take the best of what's available to them.

Great actors are people who just meld into the part without calling attention to the fact that they are so-and-so doing this part. They may never become huge stars, but will always, in memory, stay respected actors.
