Good acting comes from finding the essence of a character.

To be good, you need to believe in what you're doing.

As an actor, you usually live your life with faith.

What I would say to a person who is firm in their faith and wants to go into an acting career: It is such a difficult thing to do without compromising your beliefs.

Good acting is about being as natural and calm as possible. These days producers have such definite ideas that you have to be prepared to do whatever they ask.

I think it's vital to have something outside your acting to keep you rooted in the real world, and help you fill the vacuum. If you have nothing else, it can be unhealthy. For me being a Christian has been invaluable: it simply means acting isn't the centre of my life.

It is well to think well; it is divine to act well.

The principle part of faith is patience.

I don't think you ever really know what all you're doing, so you have to act on faith.

I have always been of the mind that good work is good work, whether performed on stage, on television or in film and, like any reasonable actor, I keep my options open.
