A storyteller is basically what actors and writers are.

Because technically actors are just public servants really. They just tell stories because people need to be told stories. That's all it is. And yet we get treated as though we're important.

I think at a certain point actors need to start taking responsibility for the kinds of stories they want to tell.

Actors, we like stories, we like storytelling, we love being a part of the story, and if you give us a story that's interesting then we'll want to do it.

I think that's why I'm an actor: so I can tell those stories without having to really live through those stories with real consequences and real stakes, real responsibility.

Being an actor is an extension of telling a story and I loved story telling as a child.

I love telling stories. I like the challenges presented to me on a daily basis. There's nothing resting about acting.

When actors are the real deal, all that star whatever goes right out the window and you're there to tell a story.

You have to be really open to your acting partners and believe in the story.

I always do stories that I believe in, characters that I find interesting, and directors who I want to work with. All these factors have contributed while making choices and continue to as an actor and as a producer.
