I think to be a good actor you need either a good experience of life or education, or both.

Wanting to be a good actor is not good enough. You must want to be a great actor. You just have to have that.

To be a good actor you have to feel life and observe life.

To be a good actor, you have to be very smart. But to be a great actor, you also have to have a streak of, 'I'm an idiot, a complete lunatic.'

To be a great actor, you really don't need to go to acting school or learn dance classes or work on your body. You have to be intelligent. You have to draw on a lot of emotions that you go through in life that you can tap into once you work on a set.

The thing about being an actor is that every new job is a new challenge. Sometimes you'll have a shot, and it doesn't work. Sometimes it'll work better than you expected.

I want to be a good actor more than anything - someone you can respect.

I've been thinking recently about all the qualities you need in order to be an actor. First and foremost, you've got to have a thick skin and give out an 'I don't give a monkey's what you think' kind of vibe, while at the same time really caring what everyone thinks. You've got to be tough and sensitive at the same time.

There are two main jobs in acting - the first one is to be a good actor, and the second one is to convince everyone that you're a good actor.

I think anybody can be a good actor.
