Actors don't have real value.

It's really important for actors to feel that they're more than something for hire.

Actors always think that others are getting more work than them. In my case, they usually are.

There's never been a time in history, no matter what the public thinks, when actors have been paid more than they should be.

A lot of times, actors give so much power to the producers and the producing companies because, quite frankly, they have it. But we don't take the limited power that we have, which the power you initially have is to say 'no.' But 'no' in a positive way.

Most actors are not rich - they are very poor indeed. What keeps them going is that they just love the job.

You know, when you choose to make your living as an actor, it's all fine and good to look at it as some kind of artistic endeavor. At its best, it is that. But the fact is, most of the actors out there don't earn $3 million a picture and can't afford to take two years off between films and look for the right thing. Most of us are tradesmen.

I've had a year out of work, more, and just toughed it out. There are those who think that all actors are overpaid. I beg to differ.

There is a vast difference in the pay package of every actor. Actors are also exploited at various levels, but when we are established, we get paid fairly well. But at times, if an actor asks for a hike, he/she may even get boycotted.

Actors are people who are doing a job they want to do, which isn't the case for many of the people who watch what we do.
