Personally speaking there's only so long you can go from film to film to film. There's an inspiration an actor gets from the stage.

As an actor, the ambition is to play interesting characters. And in the indie genre world, the budgets are low. That allows me, as an actor, not to have a financial value behind my name, to justify me being in these bigger parts for these types of movies.

Movie making is really, it's a director's medium, it's not even so much an actor's medium.

In the end of the day, you are human. Film is a job which is not an individual job; you have tons and tons of people behind you - you have a whole crew of people working. But, an actor is the face of a film, so you get all of the good things, but you get the bad things, also.

There's a lot of directors who were actors, so they have the sensibility of an actor, which sometimes helps.

An actor is only a part of the film, not the whole, and very often, he is moulded by the director. That is why a good director can make so much difference to a film.

As an actor, as you grow into where you fit in the industry, you're just trying to find the opportunities, hoping they grow and you get to do more.

A film actor is just a victim of directors and editors.

Being an actor, we're so dependent on the writers.

There just is exponentially more money in the movie business than in the music business. As a result there are more people involved in the creative process.
