Actors have to make you believe that it's happening for the first time and all that jazz and make it human and at the same time entertain you.

Acting is invigorating. But I don't analyse it too much. It's like a dog smelling where it's going to do its toilet in the morning.

Great acting may be a turn-on, but it won't make me fantasize about the person for a week.

When you start off acting, it does seem very romantic, and the make-believe part of it all seems very exciting. It's only later that you begin to realize how fascinating the work is - that it's a bottomless pit, and you never get to the end of it.

I'm looking forward to, as an actor, having to do some stuff that's out of my comfort zone. It makes for interesting work and when you're uncomfortable doing something; then it's going to be interesting when they film it.

Acting is really about showing up that day and telling the writers what you feel like saying.

I don't have anything saying, 'I'm going to do this many new films, and this many comedies.' But, it's always exciting for me, whenever it is a new character and something I haven't done before, and that's part of what draws me to it.

The exciting part of acting, I don't know how else to explain it, are those moments when you surprise yourself.

It's what still excites me most about acting: letting your imagination go places it's never been before. There's nothing better than that.
