The best actors instinctively feel out what the other actors need, and they just accommodate it.

There's a lot of directors who were actors, so they have the sensibility of an actor, which sometimes helps.

Actors want to be told what to do - they really do. But they also want to have an input and be recognized for that.

You know, people really don't understand what actors do.

The idea that you must treat actors a certain way in order to get a performance out of them kind of disturbs me, and it's disregarding what we do. Our job is to do our job.

A lot of actors never talk to other actors about how they're doing things, or why. I think it's important to share the way you're thinking.

Good actors, you always know what they're thinking. That's why they're good actors.

Some actors give you what you want. Some you have to make do what you want.

I think most actors feel an obligation to do right by the people they're playing.

As an actor, you think you know your craft, you know the conflicts in your character, but often you don't.
