I don't believe moviegoers don't have patience. Screenwriters are told a scene can't be longer than three minutes, that you have to cut to the chase. Not true!

Actors are conditioned to develop a system for expressing as much as they can in the shortest amount of time because you're going to get all cut up in a movie.

It takes a lot out of you to do a one-hour episodic lead of a show. I don't think actors realize that when they take the job.

As an actor, you arrive most of the time at the last minute. You arrive at the end of the process, but you don't realize it.

When I was younger, the red carpet used to terrify me because it's not about playing a part: you're not in a film pretending to be someone - you are yourself. It's intimidating.

You're constantly getting rejected in acting. You get rejected more than you get hired!

The idea that you must treat actors a certain way in order to get a performance out of them kind of disturbs me, and it's disregarding what we do. Our job is to do our job.

I think most actors are insecure and scared of rejection.

When actors give their input, it can be very ego-driven, and directors are scared of that.

As an actor, you're constantly looking to be pushed.
