I think most actors like to do things that are right outside of their comfort zone.

For me, as an actor, it's always about getting out of my own way. I can put so much pressure on myself to keep up and make my director happy instead of being in the moment.

I used to comfort myself when I became an actor that it was a useful job, entertaining people. And it was important to do it as well as you possibly can.

I'm becoming a frustrated director, I think, in an actor's body.

As an actor you appreciate the security of a job. But I don't ever want to get too comfortable.

Having a director who is also an actor makes for that very relaxed way of working and it's empowering.

When I'm playing as an actor, I don't want to interfere at all with the director. I'm just an actor. I'm totally respectful.

When you're feeling very comfortable with an actor, you are doing nothing.

As a director, I also get to sit and watch actors and learn from them in a way that I don't get to do when I'm just acting.

I'm really a director's actor. I rely heavily on a director.
