Acting is a craft, and you need to study to be an actor.

As a child, acting just seemed like a natural extension of my love of play - and if you've forgotten how to play, you shouldn't be an actor.

To be a theater actor, I think you have to do plays all the time.

As an actor, all you want to do is to work and do good work.

The thing about being an actor is that every new job is a new challenge. Sometimes you'll have a shot, and it doesn't work. Sometimes it'll work better than you expected.

Being an actor means asking people to look at you. I guess I accept that. But it's a profession in which the job is to show another world and other people. You may access it through bits of yourself, and your imagination and experience, but actually, in the end, you're not playing yourself.

As an actor, of course, you want to be in something that's successful.

Being an actor means being an instrument for someone else. I want to give myself completely.

As an actor, you can do what you want with your role. That's why they hire you; to take the role and make it real.

The thing about being an actor is that you're acting. It's not that big of a deal of to play someone different from yourself.
