Actors want to be told what to do - they really do. But they also want to have an input and be recognized for that.

Roles make the actor.

Film actors are, by nature, more complicated than stage actors.

Actors are responsible to the people we play.

As an actor, you're in the hands of producers and directors. It's important to find out who you're working with.

Actors are people who are doing a job they want to do, which isn't the case for many of the people who watch what we do.

Acting is acting.

Actors wait tables, directors work at video stores.

I've always been interested in films where you can identify with the actors. Where you can be in their shoes and therefore be more involved if they're people that you recognize.

The thing that attracted me to 'CSI' is that these guys are always professional, but underneath, it's teeming with a heavy shadow. Maybe even some decadence and some weirdness with certain characters! And that always intrigued me as an actor.
