As an actor, you know there are things you get asked to do that you do quite well, with less effort.

As an actor, sometimes you've gotta take the jobs that you may not want to do. It's so hard to work as an actor.

Actors are an insecure breed. It's hard to have your career depend upon other people's opinions of what you do.

Some actors give you what you want. Some you have to make do what you want.

Life as an actor has toughened me up, and I've learned that you shouldn't take things too personally. Someone once said that to do this job you need talent, luck and a thick skin - which is so true.

There's a lot of directors who were actors, so they have the sensibility of an actor, which sometimes helps.

People don't know and they shouldn't know that you work incredibly hard as an actor.

As an actor, you never know where the work's going to come, so you have to be flexible about it.

Sometimes I think being an actor is like being a dog for a director; it's like they throw a stick, and you want to fetch it and bring it back to them. You want a pat on the head for it.

I think a lot of actors need validation. If you see truly amazing actors perform, they expose themselves to such an incredible degree. You can really see their pain.
