Acting is the physical representation of a mental picture and the projection of an emotional concept.

I think there's something to be said for being physical in acting.

The thing I adore about acting is that it's not me: you get to experience all these emotions, but essentially it's not you.

Increasingly I've come to think that what's at the core of acting is thinking. Most people would say it's feeling.

An emotional performance is usually more instinctive to an actor.

Emotions should be real; one shouldn't come across as acting.

Acting is experience with something sweet behind it.

Acting isn't like being an athlete. There's no real quantifiable measure. It's just a bunch of people feeling things.

Acting is a very personal process. It has to do with expressing your own personality, and discovering the character you're playing through your own experience - so we're all different.
