I'm sure that my wanting to be an actor had to do with a need for approval.

I don't think actors should have to do anything but come in and act.

I think most actors feel an obligation to do right by the people they're playing.

I've come to this conclusion: What makes a great actor is great need. A huge need of acting.

Actors want to be told what to do - they really do. But they also want to have an input and be recognized for that.

I think acting is all about the other people. Sounds like a worthy thing to say, but it's true.

I was always curious about motivation and intention, and really, that's a lot of what acting is.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

I think every actor wants a certain amount of control. Maybe not control, as such, but just to be part of the process. But it's not necessary, I guess.

All actors are looking for that role that's going to define who they are. When it happens, it's a good thing.
