Feelings are universal, and if an actor's doing his job, I think he's making people sit there, and if it's in a movie or a theatre, going 'Hmm, yeah, I know that... I know that.'

The thing I adore about acting is that it's not me: you get to experience all these emotions, but essentially it's not you.

Part of the reason of being an actor is you like playing other people's lives and exploring all the psychologies in that and the emotions.

Contrast of emotions is definitely something interesting that you like to do as an actor.

You're always dealing with emotions as an actor.

An actor's body should be full of emotions, whether it is happiness or sorrow, pain or joy, enraged or elated.

The life of an actor lends itself to emotion, and yet you have to be tough as old boots to stay at the table.

I don't sit around with other actors and talk about the pain and the magic of acting.

I'm not a super emotional person, so that's one reason I love acting - it makes me deal with myself in that kind of way.

An actor's job is to embrace emotions and situations that in real life we spend all of our time running away from.
