People become actors because they want to hide, and it's not easy to talk about myself. I accept that a certain responsibility goes with being an actor in the public eye, but I haven't found a comfortable way to deal with it.

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.

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.

There's something important, as an actor, about allowing yourself to be approached by people to do roles. People see different things in you.

The problem with being an actor is that you have to be reactive to what other people want.

You know, my point in being an actor is to get people to believe that this is not about me, but something else.

Being an actor is the loneliest thing in the world. You are all alone with your concentration and imagination, and that's all you have.

As an actor, you never try to be someone else. You can't.

You are exposing yourself all the time as an actor. There's the risk of being thought of as bad or boring or unattractive.
