If I have to go around telling everyone how great I am, then there's something wrong with my act.

You need to become a good listener. As you're working, you hear someone else's lines and how you absorb them becomes your acting.

When I started acting, I was told over and over again, 'You're no good.' But I said to myself, 'You've got to keep it up.'

I feel that I'm at my best as a person and that I'm coming home when I walk on to a set, or on to a stage, so if I can perform in one way or another I think I'll be okay.

You bring out a lot of your own thoughts and attitudes when acting. I think a great deal of it has to do with the inner you.

When I am not acting or performing, I want to keep quiet and not to have a conversation.

A lot of times when you're acting, you're no longer talking and listening; you're going at it for your own self.

A lot of people think being at the top means you have to be the best at a certain game. You don't. It's more about personality.

It's sort of the most important thing for acting, is to listen to the person you're dealing with.

If I do my very best, then the camera and the audience will follow me, and eventually they will somehow feel like I feel. I don't have to show it to them. I don't have to speak it out loud.
