You find with the really great actors, the ones you really admire and look up to, very often they're very giving, generous, warm people.

I think the best actors are the most generous, the kindest, the greatest people and at their worst they are vain, greedy and insecure.

Actors have an innate sense of self and humanity, the good ones do, and of being generous of heart and generous of spirit.

You're always aware that only eight per cent of actors are in work at one time, so you've got to be thankful for the job you've got and do the best you can.

The actors I admire are character actors.

I think actors are privileged. Acting feeds you.

Most actors are not rich - they are very poor indeed. What keeps them going is that they just love the job.

A lot of good actors are turning to TV.

It's rare that I come across actors who are willing to work as hard on the material as I am.

A lot of actors, we aren't that special; you get a well-written scene, and it's virtually actor-proof.
