People assume actors are born liars, but I'd argue the actor's job is to tell the truth. And I've realised I'm not a good liar.

Well, I think any actor can probably identify with being a professional liar. You don't always look at yourself that way, but I know a lot of days I do.

I've said before that the common perception that all good actors should be good liars is exactly the opposite; only bad actors lie when they act.

Any actor who is being honest will admit there's always a small or large part of the real you in every character. It's impossible not to have that.

I don't think there's a lot of actors out there right now who really know what they're doing at all.

I think no actor should be ever satisfied because there is always something new to do, something fresh to get challenged by.

I would like to think that I'm always honest with myself and others. I guess that's what makes me a half-decent actor.

I think you can tell when someone is being dishonest as an actor.

Honestly, I would not advise any actor necessarily, if he was really thinking of his career, to come out.

I think that most actors don't have very good opinions of themselves.
