Being an actor sometimes requires that you ask yourself questions you'd rather not know the answers to.

I think self-criticism is sort of a given when you're an actor. It's also about being curious and not being flippant. Anyone who accepts being in this noble profession is automatically self-critical.

I'm probably my own harshest critic. If I get a hundred good reviews and one really bad one, it's that one out of a hundred that I remember. I think we actors are hard on ourselves, and I don't know why that is.

As an actor, you get humbled all the time. Everyone is a critic.

Actors are no strangers to self-doubt, fear, and rejection.

I don't need a critic to tell me I'm an actor. I make my own way. Nobody's my boss. Nobody's ever been my boss.

If you try to talk about yourself honestly when you're an actor, you come off as stuck on yourself.

I'm a terrible actor. I'm still learning. When I first started, I wish I knew then to trust myself more, really. I was in a terrible panic in the early part of my career.

I'm an actor, but I am an awful liar.

You're an actor - people judge you and criticize you, and praise you and say you're great in equal measure.
