Quote

The life of an actor can be very enviable.

If I only dated actresses, I'd be a very lonely man.

I don't socialize. I'm kind of a hermit. The life of an actor can be very lonely.

Being an actor is the loneliest thing in the world. You are all alone with your concentration and imagination, and that's all you have.

Acting is the greatest answer to my loneliness that I have found.

I like this other world, this forgetting of myself. The actor works in order to escape, not to find himself. You become an actor by leaving yourself, and then you have to keep acting. How tragic!

Most of my friends are not actors. Most people have an idea of what an actor's life is, and it's pure glamour and excitement: it's easy and free and everyone loves you. But with a certain level of fame, there's a real level of paranoia and depression that comes with what you do, that nobody talks about.

If you're not careful as an actor, you can find yourself, at a certain point, a little bit bored.

As an actor, you tend to live in a really small world, which is not very healthy. It is enriching to go to new places, meet different people know and learn about things which you didn't know about.

There is a need for aloneness, which I don't think most people realise for an actor. It's almost having certain kinds of secrets for yourself that you'll let the whole world in on only for a moment, when you're acting. But everybody is always tugging at you. They'd all like sort of a chunk of you.
