I think most actors are insecure and scared of rejection.

As an actor, you're constantly riddled with self-doubt. You are your own worst critic.

I find that the majority of the actors I've worked with are extremely sensitive people and very spontaneous people. That's why I always say I'll never date an actor, because they're in love with you one day and the next day they're not.

But so much of being an actor isn't so great - the auditioning, the rejection, the financial insecurity.

You need to develop, somehow, a huge amount of faith and confidence in yourself, because there's a lot of rejection throughout an actor's life and you have to believe in yourself more than anyone else.

Actors go inside the heads of other people and are not afraid of the complicated places you can find yourself.

I lack confidence as an actor.

I've always slightly envied other actors I know who have different reputations. I think, 'God, you don't get people coming up to you, going, 'Hey!' - because they're scared of you.'

A good actor must never be in love with anyone but himself.

When actors give their input, it can be very ego-driven, and directors are scared of that.
