In most professions, you build up confidence and a sense of achievement as you go along, but that's really not true for acting.

Part of the privilege of being an actor is the people you get to work with.

In acting, you have to know that you are worth something. I knew I had some talent somewhere.

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

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.

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

The weird thing about acting is you're the most competent when you're at your best, but you have to be validated.

As an actor, you can think your way out of a lot of good things sometimes. I trust my instincts as an actor, and I trust the instincts of the creators, so it's a good combination.

People don't know and they shouldn't know that you work incredibly hard as an actor.

I didn't become an actor to have power, but it just happens that I have it and so I have a lot of opportunities.
