Acting is doing. It's not speaking; it's behavior. It's something happening, even if you're only listening.

A lot of times when you're acting, you're no longer talking and listening; you're going at it for your own self.
The key to acting has much more to do with listening than with talking.
Acting is doing, because everything you say or do is some kind of an action, some kind of a verb. You're always connected to the other person through some kind of action.
People say: 'Oh, it's only acting,' but it's not ever just acting. At least not with me.
If it seems like you're doing work when you're acting, then you're doing something wrong.
It's fatal to talk about acting. It sounds faintly ridiculous if you start analysing it.
The big secret in acting is listening to people.
The key to acting is less acting and just reacting.
Acting is reacting. You can't react if you're not paying attention, if you're not listening.
Listening and hearing are two different things, and acting is comprehending what the person is saying, thinking how it makes you feel and responding. That's the key to really honest, truthful, compelling performance.
