It is important to keep the filmmakers interested in you so they can offer you everything and anything. We actors are not given work on the basis of audience poll; the filmmaker will cast you after they see and like your work. It is essential to do different kind of films and not get typecast.

It used to be that you could do these nuggets of a movie and it would attach itself in terms of credibility to your work and the style of work that you did, that people would be interested and curious about you and your work as an actor.

As an actor, you're always at the service of somebody else's vision. In a play, it's more of the director's vision, and he or she's got their hands on you all the way up to opening night, and if it's a film, there are even more people.

I think, at the end of the day, if you're a good actor, then you're a good actor.

I always think that I'm the best thing in a lot of bad movies. Personally, I have to. I think that I like me as an actor.

You act in a movie, and at the end of the day, the director and editor decide what your performance is.

You're an actor - people judge you and criticize you, and praise you and say you're great in equal measure.

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

In the end of the day, you are human. Film is a job which is not an individual job; you have tons and tons of people behind you - you have a whole crew of people working. But, an actor is the face of a film, so you get all of the good things, but you get the bad things, also.

You know to me, being a good actor, the most important quality is you've got to love to play, and to just be open to anything.
