As actors, sometimes we want our character to go somewhere different than it goes, but that's being an actor.

Actors come in, and they have their own take on things, and you have to adjust on the fly to make sure everything still works structurally and dramatically.

I think the more you do as an actor, the more facility you have to switch on and off.

Oftentimes, actors don't have the luxury of picking their part. You go from one project to the next, and you hope that you find one that fits you and that you're suited for, and then they see that you're fit for it.

With more time I like to see the actors find something of their own places, so I can get their own ideas before I put mine in. Given they have a better idea more often enough.

Actors go inside the heads of other people and are not afraid of the complicated places you can find yourself.

Our feeling is that the most important thing on a set is that actors have enough confidence to try different things. If there's stress or tension, they won't go out on a limb because they won't want to embarrass themselves if they don't feel completely comfortable.

As an actor, you always want to find a piece of who you are in every role you take on.

Sometimes, as an actor, you're so deeply immersed in a part that you lose control of it. If you're really lucky, a few times in your life it'll take you somewhere you never expected to go. It really blows the top off your understanding of your craft.

People imagine that actors are being offered everything and you are not. So things come in and sometimes there are things that I want and can't get a meeting on, or go to a different actors.
