Acting is fun for me and it doesn't really matter how, whether it's hard work or easy work, it's always fun.

Like anything else, acting can become boring - a chore, really - if there isn't any challenge. And I like taking challenges. Just when people think they have me figured out, I like to surprise them.

I like to act. I guess letting what you love be what you do is key. I've worked very hard for that to be the case, probably because I'm very lazy and I only want to do things that are fun and I run away from anything that feels like work... Acting for me is like lunch at school... you're just in a playground where you get to pretend and play.

For me, personality acting is not that interesting. I don't want to just be myself.

I think acting is a fun thing because you get to have so many lifetimes in one lifetime, being all these different people.

When you act, you're always playing a version of yourself. You can't bring more to the role than what you are.

Let me put it this way. There is more to acting than just acting like somebody. I like to act in such a way that other people get some notion of what it's like to be somebody.

I like to act because I can forget about everything else.

I think that some people like to be someone other than themselves when acting, while others are most themselves. I fall into the second camp. For me, acting is a great exercise in getting to the truth about myself.

The reason I act is because I'm trying to understand why people are as they are.
