Acting is very start and stop.

To be honest I never thought the acting thing would get off the ground.

Acting is acting.

Acting is very immediate.

I think acting is all about the other people. Sounds like a worthy thing to say, but it's true.

I've seen many actors go awry by making the wrong choices early on.

In acting, quite a lot of the time you're not the first choice. Usually, you're second or third. And it can turn out to be the best thing that ever happened. You get used to that.

All actors tend to be the same messed-up people.

Sometimes when an actor and director work together for the first time, it's not as if there's a suspicion, but there is tentativeness, a certain amount of a right of passage you have to go through in order to get there. When it's already there from the beginning, it's such a plus.

I think it's incumbent on actresses to bring something else to the part which isn't in the script.
