Most actors and actresses are performative as people.

An actor really is a kind of intermediary between an audience and the piece, whether it's a play or movie.

The magician and the politician have much in common: they both have to draw our attention away from what they are really doing.

Movie magic is movie magic and acting magic is acting magic.

Like every art form, there are jealousies and angers and competitiveness in magic. But there's camaraderie among magicians, whether you perform it for a living or you're an enthusiast.

The job of an actor is the same in all of them, really. I mean, you're just creating a character that you hope people will believe, so it doesn't make that much of a difference really.

Actors are real. It's a real skill, and it exists, and talent really exists.

An actor is an impersonator; he plays many different roles. If you played the same role all the time, God - that'd be a boring career. When you take on different roles and become a different person, that's called acting... It's a challenge.

Acting isn't really a creative profession. It's an interpretative one.
