Quote

To be a great actor you just need to comprehend, so that's why I became a writer.

There's more pressure as a writer. As an actor you usually just go, do your job, and go home.

I really think that as good of a job as you do as a writer, you're absolutely indebted to the actors that have to deliver that material.

As an actor, all you want to do is to work and do good work.

I don't aspire to direct like many actors. I would aspire most likely to do some writing, but I haven't had a chance to do that.

As an actor, my main focus is finding good writing and attacking a good role.

I don't want actors to be writers. I think it's too much responsibility.

You can have good writing, but a great actor will make it feel and sound like great writing. You can have great writing, and mediocre actors will make it feel mediocre. Without the actors, you have nothing.

I try not to think of actors as I'm writing because I think you do them a disservice by writing for things they've already done.
