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

Movies are in a much longer production conversation before an actor is even involved. I always thought of actors as the last piece of the puzzle - so you're a tool.

In order to be a good actor, I'm a firm believer that you need to bring something to the table.

Actors are actors, and there should be a complete fluidity for anyone to play anything.

I think you can really tell a good actor if you can put a camera on them and they can just talk and emote and react and you don't have to keep cutting away from them, because they are the language and the behavior. It's all a tour-de-force performance.

I think every actor should direct at least once and vice versa.

You can have a bunch of great actors in a film, but if you don't have anyone telling a great story, it's a moot point.

When you've got good actors, they're going to come up with good stuff, but you're never quite sure how the dynamics are going to work between them.

As an actor, there is always an opportunity to learn from the other actors you work with.

I think every actor brings something personal to a role, right?
