As far as acting goes, you get to a certain point where, I think, everyone can do the job, and it comes down to a level of commitment. I think sometimes all you have to do is show up.

There is a lot of struggle in being an actor; you need so much emotional strength, no matter what level of stardom you have, that it's nice to have something steady.

It's really important for actors to feel that they're more than something for hire.

A career in the theatre demands so much commitment.

From my experience, I think that every actor has to make sure that they're in charge of their own career somehow or other.

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

Actors always think that others are getting more work than them. In my case, they usually are.

I do think that's so much a part of what being a director is - in working with actors - to really try and be sensitive to what each actor needs to get to where he wants to be.

As an actor, as you grow into where you fit in the industry, you're just trying to find the opportunities, hoping they grow and you get to do more.

Being an actor is just like being any other sort of self-employed person - we're all just happy to have a job in the first place, but we also thrive off the uncertainty of it.
