I have an idealistic approach to acting. I want to be great at it, but you can't be great if the scripts are not there and the director doesn't know what he's doing.

I really like acting but, just now, the more I read a script I find myself thinking I'd like to direct rather than act.

To me acting is like a jigsaw puzzle. The jigsaw puzzle is of the sky and all the pieces are blue. Out of this you have to create a human being and put it together.

There's no great mystery to acting. It's a very simple thing to do but you have to work hard at it. It's about asking questions and using your imagination.

I don't know what that Method is. Acting is life, to me, and should be.

As an actor, you work to the script: that's our main priority. But you have to be aware and look around for things that help you bring that little bit extra, that touch of realism that rams the point home.

Acting isn't for me. I don't like being told what to do. I'm more interested in set design, more visually driven.

Acting is just common sense. It isn't hard if you put yourself aside and just do what the writer wrote.

The secret to acting is don't act. Be you, with add-ons.

Acting is a very personal process. It has to do with expressing your own personality, and discovering the character you're playing through your own experience - so we're all different.
